“Cheesy, Garlicky Bliss: How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs That Explode with Flavor”

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking the beef)

For the garlic parmesan topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, finely chopped)


Preparation

  1. Preheat and prep:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cook the beef filling:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add ground beef. Cook until browned. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mix in the shredded cheese.

  3. Assemble the bombs:
    Flatten each biscuit dough round slightly. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the beef-cheese mixture into the center. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch edges to seal completely. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

  4. Add the topping:
    Mix melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, and parsley. Brush generously over each dough ball.

  5. Bake:
    Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.


Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serving: Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, ranch, or even spicy aioli. They make great appetizers, game-day snacks, or lunchbox additions.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 30–60 seconds.

  • Freezing: Freeze before baking for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C), adding 5–7 extra minutes.


Variants

  • Spicy kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mix.

  • Bacon burger bombs: Toss in some cooked, crumbled bacon for extra flavor.

  • Veggie-loaded: Sauté mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers with the beef.

  • Pizza style: Swap beef for pepperoni and mozzarella for a pizza pocket vibe.

  • Breakfast bombs: Use scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and cheddar for a morning version.


FAQ

Q: Can I use homemade dough instead of biscuit dough?
A: Absolutely! Pizza dough, dinner roll dough, or even crescent roll dough all work well.

Q: What cheese melts best in these bombs?
A: Cheddar adds a classic burger flavor, but mozzarella gives a gooier pull. Mix them for the best of both worlds.

Q: How do I keep the filling from leaking out?
A: Make sure the dough is sealed tightly at the seams. Pinch and roll the seams under if needed.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Yes! Assemble the bombs, refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze them for longer storage.

Q: Are these kid-friendly?
A: Totally! The cheesy, familiar flavors make them a hit with little ones. You can make mini versions for tiny hands too.
