Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 12 small cheese cubes)
For the Dough:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough
For the Garlic Parmesan Topping:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh, chopped)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Cook the Beef Mixture:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Flatten each biscuit or crescent dough piece into a 4-inch circle.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle, adding a small amount of shredded cheese or a cheese cube on top.
- Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and form a ball.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. - Make the Garlic Parmesan Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Brush the topping generously over each dough ball.
- Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. - Serve:
Let the cheeseburger bombs cool slightly before serving. Pair them with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips and Variations:
- Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
- Bacon Boost: Add crumbled bacon to the beef mixture for an extra layer of deliciousness.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Assemble the bombs ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
