How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
- Ground Beef: 1 lb (80/20 fat content recommended)
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- Garlic Powder: 2 tsp
- Salt: 1 tsp
- Black Pepper: 1 tsp
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 2 cans (8 biscuits each)
- Butter: 2 tbsp, melted
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup, grated
- Garlic Powder: 1 tsp
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper while the beef cooks. Stir until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs
Take a biscuit from the can and flatten it in your hand. Place a spoonful of the cooked beef and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese in the center. Carefully fold the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch it closed.
Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the assembled bombs on it. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping
While the bombs are baking, mix together the melted butter, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl. Once the bombs are done baking, brush the garlic Parmesan mixture on top for extra flavor.
How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Serve the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs hot out of the oven. They are great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
How to Store Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
After they cool down, place any leftovers in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warm.
Tips to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
