Description
Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are bite-sized treats filled with juicy ground beef, melted cheddar, and seasoned Parmesan dough, making them perfect as an appetizer, snack, or main dish.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package biscuit or pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the beef cool slightly.
- Once the beef has cooled, mix it with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll out the biscuit or pizza dough and cut it into 3-inch squares.
- Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture onto each dough square. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a smooth ball.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter mixture over each dough ball.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of each bomb, and add chopped parsley if desired.
- Arrange the dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve the garlic Parmesan cheeseburger bombs warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- You can use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a combination of cheeses for different flavor profiles.
- For a vegetarian version, replace ground beef with plant-based ground meat or sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Freeze the assembled bombs before baking for a make-ahead option, and bake from frozen at 375°F for 18-20 minutes.
- For added flavor, you can incorporate caramelized onions, or pickles inside the bombs.
- To make it spicy, add chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
