Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 g) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
Dough and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces / 454 g) 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.
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned, eliminating any excess fat.
- Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Incorporate cream cheese and shredded cheddar into the seasoned meat, stirring until the cheeses melt completely and create a smooth filling.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual portions, gently stretching each piece into a thin circular shape.
- Carefully place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture directly in the center of each biscuit round.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, meticulously sealing the entire perimeter to prevent leakage during baking.
- Prepare a luxurious coating by blending melted butter with finely grated Parmesan cheese.
- Generously brush the exterior of each assembled bomb with the Parmesan-infused butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange the cheeseburger bombs on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight spacing between each piece.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the exterior transforms into a gorgeous golden-brown hue with crispy edges.
- Allow the bombs to rest and slightly cool, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
- Serve immediately alongside preferred dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Prep the beef mixture thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution and prevent dry spots.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending with the ground beef.
- Seal the biscuit edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like pepper jack or mozzarella for varied taste profiles.
- For a gluten-free version, swap biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or low-carb coconut flour wraps.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium seasoning and draining beef fat completely.
- Make ahead by preparing and freezing unbaked bombs for quick future meals.
- Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat.
