How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add the diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion is soft and fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Let the filling cool slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
- Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the beef filling into the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll the dough into a ball, ensuring no gaps.
Step 3: Add the Topping
- Arrange the dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over the dough balls.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
- Pair these bombs with a side of marinara sauce or ketchup for dipping.
- Serve alongside a fresh salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
- Great for game day, movie nights, or potlucks!
Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Bombs
- Seal the Dough Well: Make sure there are no openings in the dough to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Customize the Cheese: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or any cheese you love.
- Double the Recipe: These disappear fast—make extra if feeding a crowd!

- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
