Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a fun and delicious twist on the classic cheeseburger, wrapped up in a soft, buttery dough and baked to golden perfection. They’re filled with a juicy beef patty, gooey cheese, and seasoned with a savory garlic Parmesan topping. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 slices cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer, such as American or mozzarella)
For the Dough:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands, or use pizza dough if you prefer)
For the Garlic Parmesan Topping:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef Patties:
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 8 small patties. These should be slightly smaller than the size of your biscuit dough.
- Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Bombs:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Roll out each biscuit dough piece slightly, flattening it with your hands.
- Place one cooked beef patty in the center of each dough piece.
- Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty, then fold the dough around the beef and cheese, pinching the edges together to seal. Place the filled dough balls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and parsley (if using).
- Brush the garlic Parmesan mixture over the tops of the dough bombs, making sure to coat them generously.
4. Bake:
- Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
5. Serve:
- Once baked, remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing if you like.
Tips:
- Add-Ins: Feel free to add extra ingredients to the beef patties, like diced onions or pickles, to give them more of a classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Cheese Variations: Try using different types of cheese, like mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack, for a twist on the classic cheeseburger taste.
- Freezer-Friendly: These bombs can be frozen before baking. Just assemble them, freeze them on a tray, and then bake them from frozen when you’re ready—just add an extra few minutes to the bake time.
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are cheesy, savory, and absolutely addictive! Perfect for game days, parties, or a fun dinner idea. Enjoy!
