Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking tray for the cheeseburger bombs.
- Sauté ground beef in a skillet until thoroughly cooked, ensuring no pink remains and draining any excess fat.
- Infuse the beef with robust flavor by mixing in seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, and mustard. Allow the mixture to meld for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transform each biscuit dough round into a delicate 4-inch circle, creating a canvas for the savory filling. Strategically place beef mixture in the center, crown with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese, then carefully envelop the filling by folding the dough and sealing into a perfect sphere.
- Position the assembled bombs with their sealed seams facing downward on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing.
- Craft a luxurious garlic-parmesan glaze by whisking together melted butter, finely minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese. Lavishly brush this aromatic mixture over each dough ball, promising a golden, flavor-packed exterior.
- Bake the bombs for 15-18 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and ensuring complete cooking throughout.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering freshly chopped parsley over the top and serving these delectable bombs while still piping hot.
Notes
- Control meat moisture by draining fat thoroughly to prevent soggy dough and ensure crispy texture.
- Replace ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier or vegetarian alternatives without compromising flavor.
- Enhance cheese variety by mixing different types like cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda to create unique taste profiles.
- Prep ahead by assembling bombs earlier and refrigerating, then bake just before serving for convenient meal planning.
