how to make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients :
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (or a blend)
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough (cut into 8-12 circles and flattened)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions :
Step 1: Cook the Burger Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture cool completely (spread on a plate to speed this up). Stir in the shredded cheese.
Step 2: Wrap the Bombs
Cut the refrigerated dough into 8-12 circles and flatten each into a 4-inch round. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled burger mixture into the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges to seal, forming balls.
Step 3: Prep for Baking
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bombs seam-side down on the sheet, leaving space between them. Whisk together melted butter and minced garlic (or garlic powder). Brush this mixture over the bombs and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bombs for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
While warm, brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
