Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
Dough
- 1 package Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (usually 8 biscuits)
Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or American)
Butter and Toppings
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder (for brushing)
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Chopped Parsley, to taste (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking your cheeseburger bombs.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir occasionally until fully cooked and browned, then drain any excess fat.
- Prepare Dough: Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit gently with your hands or a rolling pin to create an even base for filling.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the cooked and seasoned beef in the center of each flattened biscuit, then add a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the beef.
- Seal Bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling completely, pinching to seal and ensure there are no openings to prevent leakage while baking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each sealed bomb for flavor and browning.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each bomb. Place the bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the bombs to cool for a few minutes after baking. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar or American cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Make sure the biscuit dough is sealed tightly to prevent the cheese and beef from leaking out during baking.
- The bombs can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef while cooking.
- Optional parsley garnish adds a fresh color contrast but can be omitted if not available.
