Homemade Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: About 35 minutes
Servings: 8 cheeseburger bombs
Equipment Needed:
- Skillet
- Baking sheet
- Small bowl (for butter mixture)
- Pastry brush (optional but helpful)
- Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese cubes)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits or homemade roll dough
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are tender. Drain any extra grease. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2. Assemble the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit or dough ball into a circle with your hands or a rolling pin. Spoon about a tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each circle, then top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (or tuck a cheese cube in the middle). Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching the seams well to seal.
Step 3. Bake ‘Til Golden: Place the dough balls seam-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder. Brush the tops of each bomb with the garlic butter, then sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until beautifully golden brown.
Step 4. Serve It Up: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. They’re amazing on their own or even better with sides of ketchup, burger sauce, or a creamy garlic aioli for dipping!
Variations to Try:
- Cheese Lovers: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for different cheesy flavors.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a slice of jalapeño into the beef mixture.
- Bacon Bombs: Mix in some cooked, crumbled bacon with the beef for extra smoky goodness.
- Vegetarian Twist: Use plant-based ground “beef” and your favorite veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers.
Pro Tips
- Let the beef mixture cool a little before assembling — hot filling can make the dough tricky to seal.
- If using cheese cubes, freeze them for 10 minutes beforehand; they’ll stay nice and melty without leaking out.
- Make sure to really pinch the seams closed, or your bombs might “explode” in the oven!
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan right when they come out of the oven.
Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite! These little bombs are sure to become a family favorite.
