Step-by-step instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drain any excess grease.
- Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs: Take a biscuit from the dough, flatten it out, and place a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping: Brush the melted butter over the baked bombs and sprinkle with grated Parmesan and garlic powder for that irresistible finish.
Best ways to enjoy it
Once your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are out of the oven, let them cool for just a minute before serving. They’re a fantastic standalone treat but really shine when paired with sides like crispy fries, a fresh salad, or even homemade coleslaw. For dips, try ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli to elevate the snacking experience.
Storage and reheating tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store your bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, they freeze well too! To freeze, just place the cooled bombs in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready, bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
Make sure to always handle food safely, so when reheating, ensure they’re heated through to at least 165°F (74°C) to enjoy them safely.
Helpful cooking tips
A few tips can enhance your experience making these cheeseburger bombs. Consider using lean ground beef to reduce excess grease. You can also mix in diced onions or jalapeños to the meat for extra flavor. If you want a twist, try adding a dollop of mustard inside each bomb before sealing – it adds a delightful kick!
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? You can easily switch up the filling to cater to different tastes. Try incorporating pepper jack cheese for some heat, or replace the cheddar with crumbled blue cheese for a gourmet twist. For a vegetarian option, use sautéed mushrooms and spinach or black beans instead of beef, ensuring everyone can enjoy them.
