Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.)
  • 8 cubes cheddar cheese (Any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack can be used.)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Fresh garlic can replace this, with 1 clove equaling about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (Substitute with chopped fresh onion, but reduce moisture content.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Adjust based on taste preference or dietary needs.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (White pepper may be used for a subtler spice.)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) (Homemade dough or pizza dough can be used for a fresher touch.)

For Topping

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (Olive oil can work as a dairy-free alternative.)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (Adjust to taste if preferred milder.)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Can be omitted if not available.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cheeseburger bombs bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the seasoned beef mixture to cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the dough when assembled.
  3. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Flatten each of the 8 rounds of refrigerated biscuit dough into circles about 3 inches wide, creating ample space to hold the filling and cheese.
  4. Assemble Cheeseburger Bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit dough circle, then place one cube of cheddar cheese on top of the beef filling.
  5. Seal and Shape: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the seams tightly to make a good seal and then roll each into a smooth ball.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced to allow room for expansion while baking.
  7. Make Garlic Butter: Melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Use this garlic butter mixture to brush generously over the tops of each dough ball.
  8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley evenly over the coated dough balls for added flavor and visual appeal.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking or burning.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the cheeseburger bombs cool slightly before serving warm, ideally with your favorite dipping sauces for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef for a lighter version.
  • Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder with about 1 clove equaling 1/8 teaspoon powder.
  • Substitute biscuit dough with homemade or pizza dough if desired.
  • Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • These are best served warm shortly after baking for maximum cheesiness and freshness.
