Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

I have to tell you about my latest kitchen obsession—Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs! After making these for a casual game night, I was amazed at how quickly they disappeared. Each bite is a gooey, cheesy explosion of flavor wrapped in flaky biscuit dough. I love how simple they are to make, yet they feel like a special treat.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend gives perfect flavor without being greasy
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (fresh is best, but pre-minced works too)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated (pre-grated doesn’t melt as well)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese diced into small cubes (shredded works but cubes make better cheese pulls)
  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough, 8-count (use flaky layers for light, puffed bombs)
  • 2 tbsp butter melted (salted or unsalted, for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional, adds color and freshness)

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef with garlic. Stir and break up the meat until nicely browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess grease, then stir in Parmesan and cheddar while the mixture is still hot for the perfect melty texture.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a small pancake about 4 inches wide. Spoon roughly 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the dough over like a little purse, pinching seams tightly, and dab with water if needed to seal.
  3. Place the bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving so the cheesy filling sets slightly.

Notes

  • I like brushing garlic powder mixed into the butter for an extra flavor punch.
  • Wetting my fingertips slightly helps seal the dough edges better.
  • Assembling them ahead and refrigerating overnight saves time on busy days.
  • Pea-sized cheddar cubes prevent cheese from bursting out of the dough.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey cheese pull every time.
