Ingredients
  

Cheeseburger Filling
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese cubes
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 16 ounces, 8 biscuits
Garlic Parmesan Topping
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3-4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 0.33 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Season beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and remove from heat to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Separate biscuit dough into individual biscuits and flatten each into a 4-5 inch circle.
  5. Place 1-1.5 tablespoons seasoned beef in center of each dough circle, top with cheese cube or shredded cheese.
  6. Gather dough edges around filling, pinch together firmly to seal, then flip seam-side down.
  7. Arrange bombs on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Combine melted butter with minced garlic. Brush mixture generously over each bomb.
  9. Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over bombs, followed by a light sprinkle of salt.
  10. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove from oven, brush with remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  12. Cool for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set slightly.

Notes

Can be made ahead and frozen before or after baking. Reheat in 350°F oven. Customize with bacon, pickles, jalapeños, or different cheese varieties. Serve with ranch, garlic aioli, or burger sauce for dipping.
