Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 fat content recommended)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Dough:
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits each)
Topping:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Allow the ground beef to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and set aside.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Break the meat into small crumbles and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned thoroughly and no pink remains; internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C). Drain excess grease if necessary. Stir in 2 tsp garlic powder and half (½ cup) of the shredded cheddar cheese; mix until the cheese melts and is well incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs: On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit dough round into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese. Place another flattened biscuit dough on top and seal the edges by pressing firmly all around to completely enclose the filling. Repeat with all biscuits.
- Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs: Arrange the assembled bombs seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for rising. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping: While the bombs are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in ½ cup grated parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. As soon as the bombs come out of the oven, brush this parmesan garlic butter mixture generously over the tops to infuse extra flavor and create a nutty golden finish. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese to add variety and different flavor profiles.
- For extra crispiness and a shiny finish, lightly brush the dough with an egg wash before baking.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or spicy ketchup to complement the flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
- Ensure oven temperature accuracy using an oven thermometer to avoid burning or undercooking.
