Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these easy-to-follow steps to make the perfect Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs:

Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling:

Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Season the Beef:
Once the beef is cooked through, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Let the beef cool for a few minutes.
Add the Cheese:
Mix the shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked beef, allowing it to melt slightly as it combines with the meat.

Prepare the Dough:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the dough into individual pieces. Gently flatten each biscuit piece with your fingers into a small round or square shape. Aim to create a dough circle that’s large enough to wrap around the cheeseburger filling.

Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs:

Fill the Dough:
Place a spoonful of the seasoned beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit dough piece. Be careful not to overfill, as this could make the bombs difficult to seal.
Seal the Dough:
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together tightly to form a ball or bomb shape. Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs:

Place on Baking Sheet:
Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bomb to allow for expansion.
Bake:
Bake the cheeseburger bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. The cheese inside should be melted and bubbly.

Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping:

Make the Topping:
While the bombs are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan butter topping. In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Finish the Cheeseburger Bombs:

Brush with Garlic Parmesan Butter:
Once the cheeseburger bombs are out of the oven, brush each bomb generously with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture. Make sure the buttery goodness seeps into the cracks for extra flavor.
Garnish and Serve:
If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Allow the bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving.
