Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20 fat content recommended)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tsp garlic powder, divided
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits each)
2 tbsp melted butter
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the ground beef sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for even cooking. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and set aside.
Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking the meat into small crumbles until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Drain excess grease if needed.
Step 3: Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and blends with the beef. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Flatten each biscuit dough round into a 4-inch circle. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture onto the center of each circle. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese. Place another flattened biscuit on top and seal the edges firmly by pressing together.
Step 5: Place the assembled bombs seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 6: While baking, melt butter and mix with Parmesan cheese and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the bombs immediately after removing them from the oven.

Tips & Variations

Substitute mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor and texture.
Brush the dough with an egg wash before baking for extra crispiness and a golden finish.
Add Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard to the beef mixture for added depth.
Include crushed garlic croutons in the beef mixture for extra crunch and garlic flavor.
Seal bombs carefully to avoid leaks during baking, pressing edges tightly.

Storage

Let leftover bombs cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy texture without sogginess.

FAQs

What are Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs?

They are savory stuffed pastries filled with seasoned ground beef, cheese, and garlic butter, wrapped in soft biscuit dough. They make perfect appetizers or snacks thanks to their rich flavors and easy-to-eat size.

Can I use turkey instead of beef?
