Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Optional swaps:
- Use ground turkey for a lighter version
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a little heat
Steps
- Cook the beef. Brown the ground beef in a skillet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
- Prep the dough. Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch circle. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect they stretch easily.
- Fill and stuff. Spoon a little beef into the center of each dough round, add a pinch of cheese, then carefully wrap and pinch closed.
- Arrange seam-side down. Place the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for 14–16 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Make garlic butter. Stir melted butter with minced garlic and Parmesan.
- Brush generously. Brush the hot bombs with garlic Parmesan butter and sprinkle with parsley if using.
Chef’s Tips
- Don’t overfill: A small scoop seals better and prevents leaks.
- Seal well: Pinch and roll gently so the cheese stays inside.
- Extra golden top: Broil for 1–2 minutes after brushing if you love crisp edges.
Variations
- Bacon cheeseburger bombs: Add cooked, crumbled bacon to the beef.
- Cheeseburger deluxe: Tuck in a tiny piece of pickle for classic flavor.
- Pizza-style bombs: Swap beef for sausage and add mozzarella + marinara for dipping.
