Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) or homemade dough
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease for a less oily filling.
- Season Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked beef. Mix well and let the mixture cool slightly, which makes it easier to handle when assembling.
- Prepare Dough: Flatten each biscuit into a circle large enough to hold the filling. This creates a perfect pocket for the cheeseburger filling.
- Fill Dough: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture and shredded cheese into the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill.
- Seal Bombs: Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent opening.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush this flavorful garlic butter over the top of each bomb to create a golden crust and add aroma.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each bomb for an extra cheesy, savory finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, add more cheese or try different cheese blends like mozzarella or pepper jack.
- If you prefer homemade dough, pizza dough or biscuit dough recipes can be substituted.
- Be careful to pinch the edges tightly to prevent cheese and beef from leaking during baking.
- These bombs can be kept warm in a low oven or reheated in the microwave or oven for leftovers.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces to enhance flavor.
