Why You’ll Love This Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

They’re handheld, make-ahead friendly, and oven-baked for easy cleanup. The flavor combination of garlic, butter, and parmesan gives these bombs a crave-worthy edge that makes them unforgettable. Plus, they come together with store-bought dough, making it possible to enjoy them even on a weeknight.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use for Cheeseburger Bombs?

The best dough to use is refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough. They’re soft, fluffy, and perfectly portioned, making it easy to wrap around your cheeseburger filling. Crescent roll dough gives a slightly flakier texture, while biscuit dough offers a classic pillowy bite. Either works beautifully, so choose based on your texture preference.

Ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Creating these bombs is all about layering bold flavors into bite-sized packages. Every ingredient plays a key role, from the savory meat to the cheesy finish.

• Ground beef: The heart of the filling, seasoned and browned to juicy perfection.
• Yellow onion: Adds depth and sweetness that complements the beef.
• Garlic powder: Enhances the beef and ties in with the buttery topping.
• Salt and pepper: For simple, essential seasoning.
• Cheddar cheese: Melts beautifully inside for that classic cheeseburger gooeyness.
• Refrigerated biscuit dough: Makes wrapping easy and bakes into a golden, tender shell.
• Butter: Used for brushing the tops, creating a rich finish.
• Minced garlic: Mixed with the butter for extra aromatic punch.
• Grated parmesan: Sprinkled on top for a salty, cheesy crust.
• Parsley (optional): For a pop of color and fresh flavor at the end.

How To Make the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped yellow onion until fully cooked. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once done, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs

Flatten each biscuit dough round and spoon a generous tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center. Fold the dough over and pinch to seal, forming a tight ball. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Add the Garlic Butter Topping

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over each bomb. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and puffy.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving to add a touch of brightness.

Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

These cheeseburger bombs are best enjoyed hot out of the oven, when the cheese is still gooey and the garlic-parmesan topping is fresh and fragrant. This recipe yields 8 bombs and typically serves 4 people if enjoyed as a meal or up to 8 as a snack or appetizer.

To store, let them cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes to maintain their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, which can make the dough soggy.
