Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs lies in their simplicity. Let’s take a closer look at the key ingredients that make them shine.

Ground Beef: The heart of this recipe. Choose 80/20 ground beef for a juicy filling, but feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken if preferred. Season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite burger spices for maximum flavor.

Cheese: Cheddar is a classic choice here, providing that signature cheeseburger taste. However, mozzarella, pepper jack, or a mix of cheeses can work just as well, depending on your flavor preferences.

Biscuits or Crescent Dough: Pre-made biscuit or crescent dough is a lifesaver for this recipe, creating a flaky, buttery shell around the filling. If you have time, homemade dough is always an option for an extra-special touch.

Garlic Butter: A mix of melted butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan takes these bombs to the next level. The garlic butter is brushed on top before baking, infusing the bombs with an irresistible aroma and flavor.

Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle parmesan on top for a golden, crispy finish. It adds a nutty, savory element that pairs beautifully with the cheesy filling.

If you have a pastry brush and a baking sheet, you’re all set in terms of special equipment!

How To Make These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Making these cheeseburger bombs is as fun as it is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure they come out perfectly every time.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite burger spices, then remove it from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

While the beef cools, prepare your dough. If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. For crescent dough, divide it into triangles and gently stretch them to fit the filling.

Place a spoonful of cooked beef in the center of each dough piece, followed by a cube or small handful of cheese. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Roll them gently to form a ball shape.

Arrange the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan. Brush this garlic butter generously over each bomb.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Enjoy these warm, cheesy bites with ketchup, mustard, or even ranch dressing for dipping. Total time? Just about 25 minutes!

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (a rare occurrence with these), storing them is a breeze. Allow the bombs to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.

Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain their flaky texture and gooey filling.

Freezer: These bombs freeze beautifully! Wrap each cooled bomb in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen in a 375°F oven for about 15 minutes.

Variations and Substitutions

These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are endlessly adaptable, so you can customize them to suit your cravings.

• Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs: Add crumbled bacon to the beef mixture or wrap a strip of bacon around each bomb before baking.
• Veggie Bombs: Swap the meat for sautéed mushrooms, onions, and spinach for a vegetarian twist.
• Spicy Version: Use pepper jack cheese and add diced jalapeños to the filling for a fiery kick.
• Breakfast Bombs: Replace the beef with scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage for a morning-friendly version.
• Mini Bombs: Use smaller pieces of dough and filling to create bite-sized appetizers, perfect for parties.

Don’t be afraid to experiment! Whether you stick to the classic or put your own spin on it, these cheeseburger bombs are sure to be a hit.
