Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs


  • Author: lisa
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bombs 1x

Description

These bite-sized wonders are a true labor of love, combining the comforting flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the convenience of a quick and easy appetizer. Each bomb is a perfectly balanced explosion of juicy beef, melted cheese, and savory seasonings, all wrapped up in a golden-brown biscuit dough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once cooked, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Create the Filling: Lower the heat and mix in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Once combined, set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Biscuits: Take the biscuit dough and carefully separate the individual biscuits. Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each biscuit into a round shape.
  4. Assemble the Bombs: Spoon the finished beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully fold the biscuit over, making sure to pinch the edges tightly to avoid leaking filling.
  5. Add the Parmesan Crust: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over the stuffed biscuits for a savory garlic flavor.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until each bomb is beautifully golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant finish!

Notes

  • Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Veggie Boost: Incorporate finely chopped onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers into the beef filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Cheesy Upgrade: Use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and provolone, for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Make it Ahead: Prepare the beef and cheese filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
  • Serve with Dips: Offer a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch, marinara, or a spicy aioli, to complement the flavor of the bombs.
