Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef (Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Biscuit Dough and Filling
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) (Homemade dough or pizza dough can be used for a fresher touch)
- 8 cubes cheddar cheese (Any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack can be used)
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (Olive oil can work as a dairy-free alternative)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Can be omitted if not available)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet, add 1 pound of ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before assembling.
- Prepare Dough: Flatten each of the 8 rounds of biscuit dough into circles about 3 inches wide to form the base for the filling.
- Fill Dough: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit, then top with a cube of cheddar cheese.
- Seal Bombs: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching them together tightly to create a seal. Roll each sealed dough into a smooth ball to encase the filling completely.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Make Garlic Butter: Melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a small saucepan or skillet and stir in the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Brush and Top: Brush the garlic butter generously over each dough ball. Then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley evenly on top of each bomb.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until the dough balls are golden brown and cooked through. Monitor closely to avoid over-baking.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. These cheeseburger bombs are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder; 1 clove of fresh garlic is approximately 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.
- If using fresh onion instead of onion powder, reduce moisture content to prevent dough sogginess.
- Homemade biscuit or pizza dough can be used for a fresher taste and texture.
- To make dairy-free, substitute unsalted butter with olive oil and omit parmesan cheese or use a vegan alternative.
- Keep an eye during baking as oven temperatures may vary, preventing over-baking or burning.
- Serve warm for best melty cheese experience.
