Ingredients:
For the Cheeseburger Bombs:
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-10 biscuits)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
Instructions:
Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes until softened. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook, breaking the beef apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Assemble the bombs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit into a circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture in the center of each biscuit. Top with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Form the bombs: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit around the filling, pinching together to seal the bomb. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make the garlic parmesan butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Brush the tops of each bomb with the garlic parmesan butter mixture.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden and puffed up.
Serve: Once baked, remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy the cheesy, savory perfection!
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are perfect as a party appetizer or as a fun main dish. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing, to enhance the flavor.
Storing: If you have leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store the bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave them for 30-45 seconds.
Freezing: You can also freeze the unbaked bombs. Assemble them, brush with the garlic parmesan butter, and freeze them on a baking sheet for an hour. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, cook directly from frozen, adding an extra 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
