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

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, gather all your ingredients. Measure out the ground beef, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Open the cans of biscuit dough and set them aside. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smooth.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef into small pieces as it cooks. After it is fully browned, drain any excess fat. Add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the cooked beef. Stir well to make sure the meat is seasoned evenly.

Step 3: Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take one biscuit from the roll and flatten it in your hand. Add a tablespoon of the cooked ground beef in the center and top it with a little shredded cheddar cheese. Enclose the meat and cheese in the biscuit dough by pinching the edges together. Make sure it is sealed well to keep the filling inside.

Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs

Once all the bombs are assembled, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they have some space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. While they bake, prepare the garlic Parmesan topping.

Step 5: Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. After the cheeseburger bombs are done baking, take them out of the oven and brush the butter mixture on top. This adds an extra burst of flavor that everyone will love!
