Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs (Print Format)

Seasoned ground beef and cheese wrapped in flaky dough, brushed with garlic butter and topped with Parmesan for the ultimate bite.

# Ingredients:

→ For the burger filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste
03 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
05 - Optional: crispy bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions

→ For the dough wrapping

06 - 1 tube refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough, cut into 8-12 circles and flattened

→ For the garlic Parmesan topping

07 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
08 - 1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
09 - 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
10 - Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

# Steps:

01 - In a large skillet, cook your ground beef over medium heat until it's nicely browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture cool completely, then stir in your shredded cheese until well combined.
02 - Take each piece of dough and flatten it into a circle about 4 inches across. Place 1-2 tablespoons of your cooled burger filling right in the center. Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to seal completely, then gently roll each one into a smooth ball.
03 - Place your sealed dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Mix your melted butter with minced garlic, then brush this mixture generously over each bomb. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
04 - Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until they're beautifully golden brown and the dough is cooked through completely.
05 - As soon as they come out of the oven, brush them with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if you're using it. Serve these incredible bombs warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo!

# Tips:

01 - These bombs are perfect for parties, game day, or any time you want handheld comfort food that's absolutely irresistible.
02 - You can assemble these completely ahead of time and bake them later for ultimate convenience - perfect for entertaining!
03 - Leftovers freeze beautifully and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore that perfect crispy exterior.
04 - Get creative with variations - add diced jalapeños for heat, swap in Italian sausage, or make breakfast versions with scrambled eggs and bacon.
05 - Make sure your filling is completely cooled before assembling, or the heat will make the dough difficult to work with.
