Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing the onion and ground beef)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (for savory depth)
• 500g (1.1 lbs) ground beef (80/20 preferred for a juicy, flavorful filling)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for seasoning the beef)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (to season the filling)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for a slight kick)
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (for the cheesy filling)
• 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (for wrapping the filling)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing the tops of the bombs)
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (for the garlic parmesan topping)
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley (for garnish and added flavor)

Instructions

1. Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and remove the skillet from heat.
2. Add cheese to the beef: Once the beef is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the heat from the beef to melt the cheese, creating a creamy and cheesy beef mixture. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly while you prepare the biscuit dough.
3. Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create a small round shape. You’ll want each biscuit to be large enough to hold the beef and cheese filling.
4. Assemble the bombs: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit. Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal the bomb. Be sure to close the seams tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. Place each filled biscuit seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Make the garlic parmesan topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, and dried parsley. Once the bombs are assembled, brush the tops of each one with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring that each bomb gets a generous coating.
6. Bake the bombs: Bake the cheeseburger bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. The cheese inside should be melted and bubbly, and the outside should be crispy and golden from the garlic parmesan topping.
7. Serve: Once baked, remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs warm, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
