Ingredients

Scale

Cheeseburger Bombs

  • 1 lb ground beef (80–85% lean)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz; 8 large biscuits)

Garlic Parmesan Coating

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep the filling from being greasy.
  3. Season the Filling: Stir in the kosher salt and black pepper into the cooked beef. Let the seasoned beef cool for 3-4 minutes to prevent the cheese from leaking out when assembling.
  4. Add Cheese: Mix the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the warm ground beef until the cheese is just melted and well combined, creating a cheesy, savory filling.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley if using. This mixture will flavor the exterior.
  6. Flatten Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Gently press each biscuit into a 4-5 inch round on a clean surface, ready to be filled.
  7. Fill and Seal: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching to seal tightly into a ball to prevent leaking.
  8. Brush and Coat: Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter mixture. Then roll each in a shallow dish containing the grated Parmesan cheese mixed with Italian seasoning, coating all sides.
  9. Bake: Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn deep golden brown and are cooked through.
  10. Rest and Serve: Let the cheeseburger bombs cool for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set. Brush with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with additional fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Chill the beef and cheese filling for 5-10 minutes if it’s very hot; cooler filling seals better and prevents leaks during assembly.
  • Swap the cheddar cheese for mozzarella for extra cheesy pull, pepper jack for a spicy kick, or smoked gouda for a smoky depth of flavor.
  • To reheat, use an air fryer set to 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore the crispy exterior without drying out the filling.
