Ingredients Notes

The magic of these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs comes from the combination of simple, flavorful ingredients working together in perfect harmony.

Ground beef forms the heart of this recipe, giving each bomb a hearty, savory center. I recommend using an 80/20 blend for a juicy, flavorful filling, but leaner options also work well.

Cheddar cheese provides the gooey, melty core. Sharp cheddar adds a bold flavor, but you can substitute mozzarella, pepper jack, or even Swiss to switch things up.

Pillsbury biscuit dough is the secret to the perfect golden crust. It’s soft, flaky, and bakes up beautifully. Crescent roll dough or homemade dough can be used if you prefer.

Garlic butter takes these to the next level. Made with melted butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley, it infuses each bite with rich, aromatic flavor.

Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty finish to the tops of the bombs. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.

You’ll also need basic seasonings like salt and pepper, and a little egg wash to help the dough achieve its gorgeous golden sheen.

Let’s move on to how these little bites of heaven come together.

How To Make This Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

Creating these cheesy, garlicky bombs is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps for perfect results every time.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Place a small spoonful of the cooked beef in the center of the dough, then add a cube or a small handful of cheddar cheese on top.

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll the filled dough gently in your hands to form a smooth ball. Place the sealed side down on your prepared baking sheet.

Brush each bomb generously with the garlic butter, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. The garlic butter ensures a flavorful crust while the Parmesan adds a savory crunch.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving – if you can resist the temptation!

These cheeseburger bombs come together in less than 40 minutes, perfect for even the busiest of days.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though it’s rare!), these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs store beautifully.

Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes until warm and crisp.

Want to freeze them? Let the baked bombs cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll keep well for up to 3 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adapt. Here are a few ideas:

• Switch up the protein: Use ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat for a twist.
• Experiment with cheeses: Try mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
• Spice it up: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of chili powder to the filling for a kick of heat.
• Stuff with extras: Include cooked bacon, caramelized onions, or sautéed mushrooms for added flavor.
• Try a different dough: Crescent roll dough or pizza dough both work beautifully for these bombs.

No matter how you customize them, these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are sure to be a hit. Don’t be afraid to experiment – you might just discover your new favorite version!
