Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough, if preferred)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Ingredient Highlights
- Ground Beef: The seasoned ground beef provides the hearty, savory filling for each bomb, making it taste just like a cheeseburger.
- Cheddar Cheese: The shredded cheddar melts perfectly inside the bomb, giving each bite that classic cheeseburger gooeyness.
- Garlic Butter Coating: The garlic butter coating adds a rich and flavorful finish, with a delightful crunch from the parmesan and a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes.
- Biscuit Dough: The biscuit dough creates a soft, fluffy exterior that contrasts nicely with the savory filling inside.
Instructions
Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling:
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Beef: Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully seasoned and fragrant.
- Add Cheese: Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated into the beef mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until combined and set aside.
Assemble the Bombs:
- Prepare the Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a disc using your hands or a rolling pin, making sure it’s large enough to wrap around the filling.
- Fill the Dough: Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each dough disc. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for extra cheesiness.
- Seal the Bombs: Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal the bombs. Make sure there are no gaps where the filling could escape during baking.
Bake the Bombs:
- Arrange the Bombs: Place the sealed bombs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the seam side is down.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Brush the tops of the bombs with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring each one is evenly coated.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the garlic parmesan cheeseburger bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
