These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a tasty treat! Imagine crispy dough wrapped around juicy beef, with a punch of garlic and a sprinkle of cheesy goodness. Yum!

Whenever I make these, they disappear fast. I swear, they’ve got a magical way of bringing everyone to the table. Perfect for game day or a cozy movie night! 🧄🍔

Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Ground Beef: I like using 80/20 ground beef for the perfect balance of flavor and juiciness. If you’re looking for a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken works well too.

Cheese: Cheddar and mozzarella are a great combo for flavor and meltiness. For a twist, try pepper jack for some spice or even cream cheese for a creamy texture!

Garlic: Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, garlic powder can stand in. Just don’t skip it completely; garlic makes everything better!

Biscuit Dough: Refrigerated biscuit dough is super convenient, but homemade biscuit dough or even puff pastry can elevate the dish. Just remember to adjust the baking time as needed!

Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan adds a great finishing touch. If you are out, try using Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste or nutritional yeast for a vegan option.

How Do I Make Sure These Biscuits Are Sealed Properly?

Sealing the biscuits is crucial to keep that delicious filling inside. Here’s how to do it properly:

  • After placing the filling on the circle of dough, make sure the edges have no filling on them. This makes sealing easier.
  • Fold the edges over the filling and gently pinch them together. You can also twist them if you want a more secure seal.
  • Place the biscuits seam side down on the baking sheet. This ensures that they stay closed while baking.
  • If you’re worried about them opening, a little egg wash (beaten egg) can help seal the edges even better!

Taking these steps will help your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs stay intact and keep all that cheesy goodness inside.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Dough:

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Chopped parsley

How Much Time Will You Need?

This delicious recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and approximately 15-20 minutes to bake. That’s around 30-35 minutes in total for a delightful snack or appetizer!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it’s hot and ready for your yummy cheeseburger bombs! While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

2. Cook the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until it’s browned, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep your bombs nice and tasty without too much grease.

3. Add Flavors:

Now, add the minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until combined and let it cook for another minute. You’ll smell that wonderful garlic aroma filling your kitchen!

4. Mix in the Cheese:

Take the skillet off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. After that, stir in both the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. This should make the mixture all melty and gooey—perfect for stuffing!

5. Prepare the Biscuits:

Open up the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and carefully separate it into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece into a round shape about 4 inches in diameter. You can use your fingers or a rolling pin—just make sure they’re all about the same size!

6. Fill and Seal the Biscuits:

Place a generous scoop of the beef and cheese mixture right in the center of each flattened biscuit. Then, fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together to seal tightly. This will help keep all that deliciousness inside while baking!

7. Ready to Bake:

Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. They should be spaced out a little bit to ensure they get nice and golden all around.

8. Add the Parmesan Topping:

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush this tasty mixture over the tops of the biscuit bombs to give them extra flavor and a lovely golden color as they bake.

9. Bake Until Golden:

Bake your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. They’re done when they are golden brown and smell amazing!

10. Cool and Serve:

Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you’d like, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for a nice touch before serving. Enjoy every cheesy bite of your homemade bombs!

Can I Use Ground Turkey or Chicken Instead of Beef?

Absolutely! Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the beef if you prefer a leaner option. Just follow the same cooking instructions, but be mindful that turkey and chicken may cook faster, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

What Can I Substitute for the Biscuit Dough?

If you don’t have refrigerated biscuit dough, you can use crescent roll dough or puff pastry instead. Just roll out the dough and cut it into squares or circles before filling and baking. Adjust the baking time slightly if needed, as puff pastry can take a bit longer to brown.

How Do I Store Leftover Cheeseburger Bombs?

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through for the best texture.

Can I Make These Bombs Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can prepare the beef and cheese filling ahead of time and even assemble the bombs. Just cover them and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. When ready, you can bake them straight from the fridge, but you might need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure they’re heated through.
