Introduction
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are everything you love about a cheeseburger, wrapped in soft, golden biscuit dough, brushed with garlicky butter, and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Each “bomb” is stuffed with seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar, and a pickle slice (optional but recommended for burger purists!). They’re easy to make, incredibly satisfying, and guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering.
🧺 Ingredients
For the Cheeseburger Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 is ideal)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Pickle slices (optional)
For the Bombs:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands, or homemade biscuit dough)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
👩🍳 Instructions & Method
Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until soft.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until everything is well combined and thickened.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle (about 4 inches wide).
- Place a spoonful of cheeseburger filling in the center. Add a pickle slice if desired.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch to seal. Roll gently into a ball shape.
- Place each bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Brush the tops of each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese generously over each.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Optionally, brush with extra garlic butter right after baking for even more flavor.
Step 5: Serve
Let the bombs cool slightly before serving — the filling will be hot! Serve with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping.
🍽 Tips & Variations
- Add Bacon: Mix in crumbled cooked bacon to the beef mixture.
- Spicy Version: Add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños.
- Make it Mini: Use smaller dough portions for bite-sized party snacks.
