The Best Cheeseburger Bombs
The Best Cheeseburger Bombs are the perfect combination of crunchy, cheesy, and salty. They're incredibly versatile, making them perfect for party appetizers, family dinners, or even a quick snack. Plus, the combination of buttery biscuit dough and chewy cheese filling is hard to resist!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef lean is best for less grease
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite melty cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it apart as it cooks, season with salt and black pepper, then drain any excess fat. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the biscuit dough and cut each piece into squares. Each square should be large enough to hold a spoonful of the beef mixture and cheese.
- Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs: Place a spoonful of the cooked beef and a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
- Add Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush the butter mixture over each dough ball generously.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheeseburger bombs are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the cheeseburger bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating sautéed onions or mushrooms into the beef mixture.
- Ensure the biscuit dough is well-sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Pair with dipping sauces like marinara or ranch dressing for extra indulgence.
