Ingredients
Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough and Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat to keep the mixture from being greasy.
- Season and Mix Cheese: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir in the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar until the mixture is creamy and well combined, then remove from heat.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a thin circle, large enough to hold the filling.
- Assemble Bombs: Spoon a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching edges tightly to seal completely so the filling won’t leak during baking.
- Add Parmesan Butter Topping: Combine melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Using a brush, coat the tops of each sealed bomb with this mixture to achieve a flavorful, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the assembled bombs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and puffy.
- Serve: Allow the cheeseburger bombs to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve warm.
Notes
- Make sure to pinch the biscuit dough edges tightly to prevent filling from oozing out while baking.
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or pickles inside the filling.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for an enhanced cheeseburger experience.
- These bombs are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
