Garlic parmesan bacon cheeseburger bombs merge classic burger flavors into irresistible handheld bites. Savory cheese, crisp bacon, and juicy ground beef create a mouthwatering combination that will delight hungry guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tube Pillsbury crescent dough or biscuit dough
- 2 tbsps butter, melted
- Salt & pepper to taste (about 1/4 tsp each)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 375°F (190°C) and ensure the rack is positioned in the center.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, incorporating garlic powder, salt, and pepper for robust flavor. Carefully drain any accumulated fat.
- Incorporate crispy crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the seasoned beef mixture, creating a rich and savory filling.
- Gently unroll the crescent dough and slice into uniform squares, ensuring each piece is large enough to encase the meat mixture.
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef combination in the center of each dough square, taking care to distribute the filling evenly.
- Carefully fold and pinch the dough edges, completely encasing the filling and forming compact, sealed parcels.
- Generously brush the exterior of each bomb with melted butter, then liberally dust with grated Parmesan cheese for an additional layer of flavor and golden-brown finish.
- Transfer the prepared bombs to a baking sheet and slide into the preheated oven, baking for 12-15 minutes until the exterior turns a beautiful golden-brown and appears crisp.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve immediately while warm and at peak deliciousness.
Notes
- Check meat temperature carefully to ensure ground beef reaches 160°F for food safety.
- Drain ground beef thoroughly to prevent soggy dough and excess grease.
- Try lean ground beef or turkey for a lighter version of the dish.
- Use gluten-free crescent roll dough to make this recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
