How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
- Ground Beef: 1 lb (80/20 fat content recommended)
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- Garlic Powder: 2 tsp
- Salt: 1 tsp
- Black Pepper: 1 tsp
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 2 cans (8 biscuits each)
- Butter: 2 tbsp, melted
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup, grated
- Garlic Powder: 1 tsp
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the ground beef is at room temperature for easier cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook the beef until it’s browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Step 3: Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take one biscuit from the refrigerated dough. Flatten it in your hand, then place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center. Wrap the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch it closed. Place the bomb seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuits and filling.
Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs
Once all the bombs are assembled, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Step 5: Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. As soon as the bombs come out of the oven, brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them.
How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Serve your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs warm, while the cheese is still gooey. They are great on their own or can be paired with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing. Add some fresh veggies or a simple salad on the side for a complete meal.
How to Store Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispy texture.
Tips to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
- Try adding diced onions or bell peppers to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, like mozzarella or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
GARLIC PARMESAN CHEESEBURGER BOMBS ARE GREAT FOR MAKE-AHEAD SNACKS, PARTIES, OR GAME DAY BECAUSE THEY HOLD UP WELL AND REHEAT BEAUTIFULLY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE – YOU CAN PREP, CHILL, OR FREEZE THEM AND BAKE WHENEVER YOU NEED A FAST, CROWD-PLEASING BITE.
EASY WAYS TO MAKE THEM AHEAD:
PREP THE FILLING EARLY: COOK AND SEASON THE GROUND BEEF AND CHEESE MIXTURE, LET IT COOL, AND STORE IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR UP TO 2 DAYS. JUST FILL AND WRAP THE BISCUITS WHEN YOU’RE READY TO BAKE.
ASSEMBLE AND CHILL: FORM THE CHEESEBURGER BOMBS, PLACE THEM ON A TRAY, COVER, AND REFRIGERATE FOR SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT. BAKE RIGHT BEFORE SERVING.
FREEZE UNBAKED BOMBS: ASSEMBLE THE BOMBS, FREEZE THEM ON A BAKING SHEET UNTIL FIRM, THEN TRANSFER TO A FREEZER BAG. BAKE FROM FROZEN, ADDING A FEW EXTRA MINUTES UNTIL THEY’RE HOT AND GOLDEN.
REHEAT LIKE NEW: LEFTOVER BAKED BOMBS CAN BE REHEATED IN THE OVEN OR AIR FRYER SO THE OUTSIDE TURNS CRISP AGAIN WHILE THE CHEESE INSIDE MELTS.
