Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break up the beef with a spatula as it cooks, ensuring that it’s fully cooked and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until everything is well combined. Once the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of biscuits and separate the dough into individual biscuits. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a circle. This doesn’t need to be perfect, just big enough to hold a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture.
Step 3: Fill the Biscuits
Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each biscuit circle. Be sure not to overfill, as the dough needs to fold over the filling and seal properly. After adding the filling, fold the dough over and pinch the edges tightly to seal the bombs.
Step 4: Brush with Butter and Parmesan
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each bomb. This will give the bombs a beautiful, golden color and a burst of flavor as they bake.
Step 5: Bake
Place the prepared bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Once the bombs are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while they’re still warm. The crispy exterior and gooey, cheesy filling are the perfect combination!
Notes
1. Fresh Salad
Pair the rich, cheesy bombs with a light and refreshing green salad. A simple salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette will balance the indulgence of the bombs and provide a fresh contrast.
2. Fries or Sweet Potato Fries
No meal feels complete without fries, and these bombs are no exception. Serve with crispy French fries or healthier sweet potato fries for the ultimate comfort food experience.
3. Dipping Sauces
While these cheeseburger bombs are flavorful on their own, you can offer some dipping sauces for variety. Classic ketchup and mustard pair well, or you could serve them with ranch dressing, BBQ sauce, or even a tangy sriracha mayo.
