Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground beef (lean preferred)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Optional add-ins: diced bacon, chopped pickles, caramelized onions
Dough & Topping
- 1 tube biscuit dough (refrigerated)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to keep the filling juicy and less greasy.
- Season the Beef: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce over the beef. Stir thoroughly and allow the mixture to cool completely to let the flavors meld.
- Mix in Cheese and Optional Add-ins: Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese along with any optional ingredients such as diced bacon, chopped pickles, or caramelized onions, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Dough Rounds: Roll out the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut it into 8-12 rounds, each approximately 4 inches in diameter, ready to be filled.
- Fill and Seal: Place 1-2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each dough round. Gather the dough edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming neat little balls.
- Arrange on Baking Tray: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them to allow for expansion during baking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Combine melted butter with minced garlic, then brush this flavorful mixture generously over the top of each dough ball.
- Add Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the bombs.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and emit a delicious aroma.
- Final Touch: Once out of the oven, brush with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Using lean ground beef helps reduce excess grease but still keeps the filling juicy.
- Feel free to customize the cheese type—cheddar offers sharpness, mozzarella gives gooey meltiness.
- Optional add-ins like bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions add layers of flavor and texture.
- Make sure the beef mixture is cooled before stuffing the dough to prevent premature cooking of the dough.
- If preferred, homemade biscuit dough can be used for fresher taste.
- These cheeseburger bombs are best served immediately while warm and cheesy.
