Ingredients
  

For the Burger Filling
  • 1/2 lb ground beef 80/20 lean preferred
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese each cut into 4 squares (8 small squares total)
For the Bombs
  • 1 can refrigerated flaky layer biscuits 16.3 oz, 8 count
For the Garlic Parmesan Coating
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Bowl
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into the cooked beef. Mix well and remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Bombs
  • Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
  • Place approximately 1.5-2 tablespoons of the seasoned ground beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top the beef with one small square of cheddar cheese.
  • Carefully gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching firmly at the top to seal completely. Ensure there are no open seams. Place the sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake and Finish
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the minced garlic.
  • Using a pastry brush, generously brush the tops and sides of each cheeseburger bomb with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the biscuit dough is cooked through.
  • Immediately after removing from the oven, brush any remaining garlic butter over the hot bombs. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard, if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. These bombs are best enjoyed fresh. To reheat, warm in an oven or air fryer until heated through. You can also customize the cheese - pepper jack for spice or American for classic cheeseburger flavor.

My Secrets for Success with Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

  • Drain ground beef thoroughly to avoid soggy biscuits.
  • Seal biscuits tightly around the filling to prevent cheese escape.
  • Brush generously with garlic-Parmesan butter right after baking.
