Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.)
  • 8 cubes cheddar cheese (Any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack can be used.)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) (Homemade dough or pizza dough can be used for a fresher touch.)

Seasonings & Toppings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Fresh garlic can replace this, with 1 clove equaling about 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (Substitute with chopped fresh onion, but reduce moisture content.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Adjust based on taste preference or dietary needs.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (White pepper may be used for a subtler spice.)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (Olive oil can work as a dairy-free alternative.)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (Adjust to taste if preferred milder.)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Can be omitted if not available.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to make handling easier.
  3. Prepare Dough Circles: Flatten each of the 8 biscuit dough rounds into approximately 3-inch wide circles, ensuring they are large enough to encase the filling.
  4. Assemble Cheeseburger Bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the cooled beef mixture into the center of each dough circle, then place one cube of cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
  5. Seal Dough Balls: Fold the edges of each biscuit dough circle over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal completely. Roll each sealed dough into a smooth ball shape to ensure even cooking.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Arrange the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for expansion during baking.
  7. Make Garlic Butter: Melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic to infuse the butter with a fresh garlic flavor.
  8. Brush and Top: Generously brush the garlic butter over each dough ball, ensuring even coverage for a golden, flavorful crust. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the tops for added flavor and color.
  9. Bake: Bake the cheeseburger bombs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Monitor closely to avoid over-baking and ensure a perfect crispy exterior.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the bombs cool slightly after baking to avoid burning your mouth, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious, savory treat.

Notes

  • Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for ground beef for a lighter meal option.
  • Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder; use 1 clove for approximately 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • Chopped fresh onion may replace onion powder, but reduce moisture to keep dough from becoming soggy.
  • Olive oil can replace butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for varying flavor profiles.
  • Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
