Ingredients
For the filling:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (can substitute with ground turkey or plant-based meat)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the dough:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
For the garlic butter topping:
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onions for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned.
- Season the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits.
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 3: Assemble the Bombs
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each dough round.
- Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal, forming a ball.
- Place each ball seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Bake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the tops of the dough balls generously with the garlic-Parmesan butter mixture.
- Bake for 13–16 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Brush with any remaining garlic butter.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
Tips & Variations
- Cheese options: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or even a cube of cream cheese inside for a gooey center.
- Add-ins: For extra flavor, add chopped pickles, bacon bits, or jalapeños to the filling.
- Make ahead: Assemble the bombs and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze unbaked for later.
