Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dough
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
Topping
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef completely, breaking it apart with a spatula; then drain any excess fat for a leaner filling.
- Season and Mix: Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and blends evenly with the meat.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out each biscuit dough piece until about 1/4 inch thick to create enough surface area for wrapping the filling.
- Form Bombs: Place approximately 2 tablespoons of cheesy beef mixture in the center of each rolled biscuit. Carefully fold the dough edges up and around the filling, pinching to seal completely. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and finely minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each cheeseburger bomb for a rich garlic flavor.
- Sprinkle Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered tops of the bombs to add a salty, nutty crust after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness, and serve warm. Enjoy these cheesy, savory bites as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For added heat, consider mixing in some crushed red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
- Use a toothpick to secure the dough seals if you find them difficult to close.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking chilled bombs.
- For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
