How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 to 5 inches wide. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each circle.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully pull the edges of the dough up around the filling, pinching to seal and form a ball.
- Place the balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush each cheeseburger bomb generously with this garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the bombs.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm. These cheeseburger bombs are perfect with ketchup, ranch dressing, or extra garlic butter for dipping.
How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Serve these garlic bombs warm, right out of the oven. They are fantastic as a snack, appetizer, or even a main dish! Add some dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing to make it even more fun to eat. Your family and friends will enjoy grabbing these cheesy bombs and savoring every bite.
How to Store Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
If you have any leftover cheeseburger bombs, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about 3 to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but the oven will help keep the dough nice and fluffy.
Tips to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Make sure to drain the grease well from the beef before filling the biscuits to avoid sogginess.
- Use your favorite burger toppings inside the bombs, like diced pickles or cooked bacon.
- You can experiment with different kinds of cheese for more flavor; mozzarella or pepper jack are great options.
Variation
For a spicy twist, consider adding jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the beef mixture. You can also try different herbs, like oregano or thyme, for added flavor.
FAQs
Can I freeze these cheeseburger bombs?
Yes, you can freeze them before or after baking. To freeze unbaked bombs, prepare them as directed, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Can I use turkey instead of beef?
Absolutely! Ground turkey works well and makes for a lighter option. Just be aware that turkey can be drier, so consider adding a splash of broth for moisture.
What should I serve with Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs?
These bombs pair well with a simple salad, fries, or veggie sticks. Include plenty of dipping sauces for a fun meal!
