What You’ll Need
Here’s your lineup of ingredients. Nothing fancy, just the good stuff.
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
That’s it! If you’ve got these on hand, you’re halfway there.
How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
1. Preheat That Oven
Get things going by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a quick spray with non-stick oil.
2. Cook the Beefy Filling
Grab a skillet and toss in the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook on medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Season it with salt and pepper. Drain the grease so you don’t end up with soggy bombs later.
3. Add the Cheese
Take that warm beef mixture off the heat and stir in your cheddar and a few tablespoons of parmesan. Give it a mix until everything melts together in cheesy harmony.
4. Flatten the Dough
Open up that can of biscuit dough (brace yourself for the pop). Flatten each biscuit into a little disc—about 3 to 4 inches wide. This is your wrapper.
5. Stuff ‘Em
Spoon a heap of the beef-cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit. Don’t overstuff—just enough so you can still pinch the dough shut without everything exploding in the oven.
6. Seal the Deal
Fold up the dough around the filling and pinch the seams. You want a nice tight seal so nothing leaks out. Place each one seam-side down on your baking sheet.
7. Garlic Butter Magic
Mix melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, and the rest of the parmesan. Brush this all over your biscuit bombs. Don’t skimp—this is where the flavor hits overdrive.
8. Bake to Perfection
Pop them in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly puffed. You’ll smell the garlic and cheese working their magic.
Chef’s Tips (Because You Deserve Bombs, Not Flops)
- Drain the beef well: Nobody wants a soggy bottom.
- Use freshly shredded cheese: Melts better, tastes better, no weird powdery coating.
- Seal your bombs: If they bust open in the oven, the filling escapes. Tragic.
- Don’t skip the garlic butter: Seriously, this makes them next-level.
Cheeseburger Bomb Variations to Try
Let’s say you wanna switch things up. Totally doable.
- Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs: Add chopped crispy bacon to the filling.
- Spicy Kick: Toss in diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red chili flakes.
- Turkey or Veggie Version: Use ground turkey or sautéed mushrooms and spinach instead.
- Double Cheese: Add a cube of mozzarella in the center for a gooey cheese core.
Get creative. This is a choose-your-own-flavor adventure.
