Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a fun and tasty twist on the classic cheeseburger, turning it into a handheld, bite-sized treat. With a savory garlic parmesan crust and a cheesy, beefy filling, they’re perfect for a party, game day, or just a cozy snack!
Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 works best for juiciness)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorites like American or mozzarella)
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the beef is fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Remove from heat and allow the beef to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until it’s melted and well combined. Set the beef mixture aside.
-
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
-
Assemble the Bombs:
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching them together to form a ball. Make sure the filling is fully sealed inside.
- Place the stuffed biscuit seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the tops of each stuffed biscuit with the garlic butter mixture, making sure each bomb gets a good coating of the buttery, garlicky goodness.
-
Bake the Bombs:
- Bake the stuffed biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may want to brush them with a bit more garlic butter after baking for extra flavor.
-
Serve:
- Once they’re out of the oven, you can sprinkle them with some fresh parsley for a touch of color and extra flavor.
- Serve them warm with a side of dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or even some extra ketchup and mustard.
Tips:
- Beef Substitutes: You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Just make sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Cheese Options: Try different cheeses like mozzarella for a gooey center, or add some blue cheese for a more robust flavor.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the beef mixture in advance, and then just assemble and bake the bombs when you’re ready to serve them. You could also freeze them before baking and then cook from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are perfect for satisfying that craving for a cheeseburger in a fun, bite-sized form! Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
