Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cheeseburger Filling:

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: diced pickles or cooked bacon

For the Dough Bombs:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
Tip: You can also use homemade pizza dough!
1 tablespoon melted butter (for sealing)

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping:

3 tablespoon melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

💡 Pro Tip: Freshly grated Parmesan gives a better melt and richer flavor than the pre-shredded stuff!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned (about 7–8 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
Season it up:
Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and optional add-ins (like pickles or bacon). Set aside to cool slightly.
Prep the dough:
Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 4-inch round. Scoop about 2 tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling into the center of each.
Form the bombs:
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Add the garlic parmesan topping:
While the bombs bake, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan, and parsley. Brush over the bombs as soon as they come out of the oven.
Serve:
Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce.
