Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheeseburger Bombs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for beef)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 cubes cheddar cheese (1-inch size)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for butter)
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any excess fat, then season the beef with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the beef cool slightly to make it easier to handle.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Flatten each biscuit into a circular shape to create the base for the fillings.
- Add Filling: Spoon a portion of the seasoned beef onto the center of each dough circle, then place a cube of cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
- Form Bombs: Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch the seams tightly to seal it into a round ball to prevent leaking while baking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley to create the flavorful basting mixture.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for added flavor and crust.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to maintain their shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Final Touch: After baking, brush the bombs once more with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the beef is cooled before filling to avoid dough becoming too soft to seal properly.
- Use refrigerated biscuit dough for quick, easy preparation – homemade dough can be substituted for a fresher taste.
- Optional fresh parsley adds a bright color and fresh herb flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture or butter.
- Serve warm for best flavor with a side of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
