Kitchen Equipment

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground beef and diced onion.

Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 6–8 minutes.

Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Once the beef mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in half of the shredded cheese. Reserve the remaining cheese for stuffing.

Step 4: Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces.

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4–5 inches wide.

Step 5: Fill the Bombs

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Top with a small handful of the reserved shredded cheese.

Bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal.

Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6: Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and chopped parsley.

Brush the tops of each cheeseburger bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is puffed and golden brown.

Brush with any remaining garlic butter immediately after baking for extra flavor.

Step 8: Serve

Let the cheeseburger bombs cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

These cheeseburger bombs pair perfectly with:

  • French fries
  • Sweet potato fries
  • Onion rings
  • Coleslaw
  • Pickles
  • Potato wedges
  • Garden salad
  • Corn on the cob

Delicious Dipping Sauces

  • Garlic aioli
  • Ranch dressing
  • Burger sauce
  • Honey mustard
  • BBQ sauce
  • Ketchup

Tips for Success

  • Let the beef cool slightly before filling the dough to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Seal the dough tightly to keep the cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns better than pre-grated varieties.
  • Avoid overfilling the dough to ensure the bombs stay sealed.
  • Brush with extra garlic butter after baking for a glossy finish and richer flavor.
