Whether you’re feeding a crew of hungry teens or serving up appetizers for your next gathering, this one’s a no-brainer.

Why You’ll Love Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Let’s break it down: juicy beef, gooey cheddar, buttery biscuits, and a golden garlic-Parmesan crust. These cheesy biscuit snacks are basically burger heaven in two bites. They’re portable, dippable, and totally kid-approved. Plus, with pre-made biscuit dough and simple ingredients, you can whip them up faster than you can order takeout.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Filling:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Dough:

2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (16 biscuits total)

Topping:

2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the ground beef sit out for 15 minutes to take the chill off. Separate the biscuit dough rounds.
Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with salt and pepper (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease. Stir in garlic powder and half the cheddar cheese until melted. Let it cool slightly.
Form the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Spoon 1 tablespoon of beef mixture and 1 tablespoon of cheddar into the center. Top with another biscuit round and press the edges to seal.
Bake: Place each cheeseburger bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Garlic Parmesan Finish: Mix melted butter, Parmesan, and garlic powder. Brush onto hot bombs right out of the oven. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dip.

Tips for Cheeseburger Bomb Success

Pinch the biscuit seams tightly so the filling doesn’t leak out.
Let the filling cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy dough.
Want to spice it up? Add chopped pickles, jalapeños, or a dab of mustard inside each bomb.
Double the recipe for a crowd. They go fast!
