Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how these little bombs are packed with everything I crave in a cheeseburger—juicy meat, gooey cheese, and a buttery garlic-parmesan crust—all in one delicious bite. They’re quick to whip up, incredibly satisfying, and easy to serve to a crowd. No buns, no mess—just pure cheeseburger goodness.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a baking sheet or lining it with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, I brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain any excess grease.
I stir in the Worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper, and mix in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
I separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a circle.
I spoon a small amount of the beef and cheese mixture into the center of each dough circle, then fold and pinch the edges to seal, forming a ball.
I place the sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, I combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
I brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the dough balls.
I bake them for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once out of the oven, I brush them with any leftover garlic butter and sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8–10 cheeseburger bombs, depending on the size of the biscuit dough. It takes approximately 10 minutes to prep and 18 minutes to bake, so everything comes together in just under 30 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes mix it up by using pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick or adding sautéed onions and pickles inside the dough for a full cheeseburger experience. Swapping ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat also works great.

Storage/Reheating

To store, I place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, I pop them in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or air fry them for a few minutes to bring back that crispy exterior.

FAQs

How do I keep the filling from leaking out?

I make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly and place the seam side down on the baking sheet to prevent leaks.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I prep them a few hours in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Just be sure to bake them right before serving for the best texture.

What dipping sauces go well with these?

I like serving them with ketchup, mustard, ranch, or a spicy mayo for a fun twist.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, after baking and cooling completely, I freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a zip-top bag. I reheat straight from frozen in the oven at 350°F until hot.

Can I use homemade dough instead of canned biscuits?

Absolutely. If I have the time, I make a simple biscuit or pizza dough from scratch and use that instead.

Conclusion

These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a game-changer in my kitchen. They’re fun, flavorful, and always a hit with family and guests. Whether I serve them as a party snack or a cozy dinner, they never stick around for long.
