Ingredients
- Ground Beef: 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup (100 g) shredded
- Cream Cheese: 1/2 cup (about 4 oz or 115 g), softened
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 1 can (16 oz or 450 g)
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup (25 g) grated
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (about 28 g), melted
- Fresh Parsley: Chopped, for garnish
Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Skillet
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Rolling Pin (optional)
- Pastry Brush
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low, then mix in the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar until melted and well incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a circle large enough to hold a generous spoonful of the beef mixture.
4. Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs
Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the edges over the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a ball. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
5. Add the Garlic Parmesan Topping
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the butter and Parmesan mixture.
6. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
7. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the cheeseburger bombs for a fresh touch. Serve warm, and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness inside!
Tips for Perfecting Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Seal the Dough Tightly: Make sure the edges of the biscuit dough are well-sealed to avoid leakage during baking.
- Add Extra Toppings: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top for an extra crispy finish.
- Experiment with Fillings: Swap cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different cheesy twist.
Serving and Storing
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these cheeseburger bombs with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
- Storing Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain their crispiness.
