How to Make Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients
- 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
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.
- Season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
- Roll out each biscuit until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture in the center of each biscuit.

How to Serve Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
These cheeseburger bombs are best served warm, straight out of the oven. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or even a spicy aioli. Present them on a platter with toothpicks for easy snacking during parties or family gatherings.
How to Store Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
If you have leftovers (though we doubt it!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving them as this can make the biscuit dough tough and chewy.
Tips to Make Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Be sure not to overfill the biscuit dough to make sealing them easier.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors; pepper jack or mozzarella could offer a nice twist.
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the ground beef mixture.
- If you’re short on time, consider using pre-cooked ground beef or rotisserie chicken.
Variation
For a twist on the classic, try adding crispy bacon bits to the cheese and beef mixture. You could also make a vegetarian version by substituting the ground beef with black beans or sautéed mushrooms for a hearty filling.
FAQs
Can I freeze the cheeseburger bombs?
Yes! You can freeze unbaked cheeseburger bombs. After assembling, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What kind of dipping sauces go well with these bombs?
Common favorites include ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or BBQ sauce. You can also make a spicy mayo or garlic aioli for a more gourmet touch.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated?
Absolutely! If you prefer to make your own biscuit dough from scratch, feel free to do so. Just ensure it’s rolled out to a similar thickness for even cooking.
