Ingredients
For the Cheeseburger Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
For the Garlic Parmesan Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Mix the cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the beef mixture until well combined.
Flatten each biscuit or dough portion into a circle. Place a generous spoonful of the cheeseburger filling in the center. Carefully bring the edges together and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball shape and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
While the cheeseburger bombs are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan topping by mixing the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Remove the bombs from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of juicy beef, melted cheese, and buttery garlic goodness.
Tips for Success
For the best flavor, use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged shredded cheese. Make sure the dough is sealed completely to prevent the cheese from leaking during baking. You can also customize the filling by adding cooked bacon, jalapeños, pickles, or your favorite burger toppings.
Serving Suggestions
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs pair perfectly with French fries, onion rings, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad. They are also fantastic served with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, burger sauce, garlic aioli, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
Storage
Store leftover cheeseburger bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer until warm and crispy. They can also be frozen for up to two months and reheated straight from frozen.
