I’m excited to share this crowd‑pleasing recipe for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs—bite‑sized dough pockets stuffed with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, garlic, and Parmesan. They’re golden, savory, and perfect for game day, parties, or a fun appetizer. Irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I fell in love with how these bombs bring together all my favorite flavors—juicy cheeseburger filling, fragrant garlic, and nutty Parmesan encased in fluffy dough. They’re easy to hold and dunk, making them a hit at gatherings. Plus, they’re flexible—easy to adapt based on what I have in the fridge, so I almost always have a snack version ready.

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Ground beef

  • Salt and pepper

  • Garlic powder (and/or fresh garlic)

  • Onion powder (optional)

  • Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

  • Grated Parmesan cheese

  • Refrigerated biscuit dough

  • Butter

  • Minced garlic

  • Optional fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven according to the biscuit dough package instructions (usually around 375°F/190°C).

  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional onion powder. Drain any excess grease.

  3. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until creamy and well‑combined.

  4. Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece and spoon some beef-cheese mixture into the center.

  5. Seal the edges by pinching firmly, forming a ball.

  6. Place the balls seam‑side down on a baking sheet.

  7. In a small saucepan, melt butter, add minced garlic, and stir to infuse.

  8. Brush the tops of the dough bombs with garlic butter.

  9. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over each ball.

  10. Bake until golden brown, 12–15 minutes (depending on your oven and dough size).

  11. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm with dipping sauce of choice.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12–16 cheeseburger bombs, depending on the size of the biscuit dough pieces. Preparation takes around 10 minutes, baking around 12–15 minutes, so from start to finish I’m out in about 25 minutes.

Variations

  • Cheese blend: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, pepper jack, or a mix.

  • Add-ons: Finely diced onions or  jalapeños bring extra flavor.

  • Sauce ideas: Dunk them in ketchup, ranch, sriracha mayo, barbecue sauce, or mustard.

  • Alternate dough: Use crescent roll dough or pizza dough instead of biscuit dough.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, I bake them at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, or microwave individual bombs for about 30 seconds—though baking keeps the texture crispier.

FAQs

What kind of cheese works best in cheeseburger bombs?

I prefer using a stretchy cheese like mozzarella or cheddar. A combination of mozzarella for melt and cheddar for sharpness is my go‑to.

Can I make these ahead of time and bake later?

Yes—you can assemble them, refrigerate for a few hours (or freeze for longer), then bake just before serving.

How do I know when they’re done baking?

They’re ready when the dough is golden brown all over and the internal cheese is melted. A timer between 12 and 15 minutes works well, but ovens vary, so I always watch the color.

Can I freeze these for later?

Absolutely. I freeze assembled bombs on a baking sheet for about 1–2 hours, then transfer them to freezer bags. To bake, I just increase oven time by a few minutes and bake from frozen.

Can I make them dairy‑free or low‑fat?

You can use dairy‑free cheese alternatives and light butter or olive oil for brushing. The flavor and texture might differ slightly, but they still taste great.

Conclusion

I love how these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs combine cheesy goodness, savory beef, and a punch of garlic—all inside a handheld dough package. They’re quick to whip up, freeze well, and disappear fast at parties. If I’m craving something fun and satisfying, these little bombs are my go‑to snack.
