Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Dough and Topping:
- 1 can (16 ounces/454 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the cheeseburger bombs.
- Sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, thoroughly cooking and eliminating excess fat. Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Incorporate cream cheese and shredded cheddar into the seasoned beef, mixing until the ingredients meld together smoothly. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Gently separate each biscuit from the dough can and transform them into thin, round discs using your fingertips.
- Deposit a generous spoonful of the savory beef and cheese mixture directly into the center of each biscuit circle.
- Carefully encase the filling by folding the dough edges over and meticulously sealing the perimeter to prevent leakage during baking.
- Craft a luxurious topping by whisking melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Lavishly brush the exterior of each sealed bomb with the Parmesan-butter glaze, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically place the prepared bombs on the parchment-lined sheet, maintaining equal spacing.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the bombs transform into a golden, crispy exterior.
- Allow the bombs to rest momentarily after removing from the oven, letting the internal temperature settle.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant visual appeal and serve these delectable, cheese-filled morsels while warm.
Notes
- Mix ground beef and cheese filling in advance, storing it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for quick assembly.
- Swap biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or almond flour-based dough to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Replace ground beef with ground turkey, plant-based crumbles, or finely chopped mushrooms for diverse protein preferences.
- Brush bombs with extra melted butter before baking to achieve a more golden, crunchy surface that looks and tastes irresistible.
