Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: diced pickles or cooked bacon
Dough and Topping
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for sealing dough)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until browned, about 7–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat to remove grease and improve texture.
- Season and Add Cheese: Stir in garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese along with optional diced pickles or cooked bacon. Mix well and allow the filling to cool slightly to avoid melting the dough.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round on a clean surface to create a wrapper for the filling.
- Fill and Seal: Place 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold dough over the filling and pinch edges thoroughly to seal, preventing leaks. Place each seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Apply Butter: Brush the tops of the sealed biscuit bombs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter to enhance browning during baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bombs for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top, ensuring the dough is fully cooked.
- Prepare Garlic Parmesan Butter: While bombs are baking, combine 3 tablespoons melted butter with minced garlic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and optional chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Brush Topping: Immediately after baking, generously brush the garlic Parmesan butter over the hot cheeseburger bombs for a rich, flavorful finish.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bombs to cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm to enjoy the gooey, savory filling safely.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding diced pickles or cooked bacon for extra texture and flavor.
- Make sure to pinch the dough edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in the garlic butter topping.
- Allow the filling to cool slightly before stuffing to avoid melting the biscuit dough.
- Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
