Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Okay, let’s raid the pantry! Here’s everything you’ll need for these flavor-packed bombs (and yes, I’ve learned the hard way – substitutions can be risky with this one!):

1 lb lean ground beef (80/20 works best – too lean and they dry out)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (the powdery kind in the green can works magic here)
1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 tsp fresh minced if you’re feeling fancy)
1 tsp onion powder (trust me, it makes a difference)
½ tsp salt (I use kosher – adjust if your Parmesan is salty)
¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked if you’ve got it)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar makes the best lava-like center)
1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count) (the regular size, not grands!)
2 tbsp melted butter (for that golden finish)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (mostly for pretty, but adds freshness too)

See? Nothing crazy – just pantry staples transformed into something magical. Now let’s get messy!

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Alright, let’s get these bombs assembled! Don’t worry if you’re not a pro – my first batch looked like abstract art, but they still tasted amazing.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial – if the oven’s not hot enough, your biscuits won’t get that gorgeous golden color.
Mix the beef with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Get your hands in there! Squishing it together ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
Form 8 small patties (about the size of a ping pong ball). Here’s the fun part: make a little well in each patty and stuff it with shredded cheddar. Pinch the edges tight – imagine you’re making tiny edible treasure chests!
Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Don’t freak out if they’re uneven – rustic is charming! Place a stuffed patty in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges like you’re making dumplings.
Arrange them seam-side down on a baking sheet. Give them some space – they’ll puff up! Bake for 15-18 minutes until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will smell like heaven.
Brush with melted butter the second they come out of the oven. This gives them that irresistible sheen. Sprinkle with parsley for color.

Warning: The cheese will be molten lava hot. Let them cool for 2 minutes (if you can resist!) before diving in.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Here are my hard-earned secrets:

Lean beef matters – too fatty and your bombs will weep grease.
Add diced jalapeños to the cheese filling if you like heat!
Brush butter IMMEDIATELY after baking – it soaks in better when hot.
Seal tight or you’ll have cheesy volcanoes (still tasty, just messy!).

Serving Suggestions for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Oh, these babies were born for dipping! Serve them piping hot with ranch dressing, ketchup, or my personal favorite – a spicy sriracha mayo. They’re also amazing alongside some crisp pickle spears for that perfect salty crunch. Just try not to eat them all straight off the baking sheet (no judgment if you do!).

Storing and Reheating Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Okay, let’s be real – leftovers are unlikely with these crowd-pleasers. But just in case, pop any uneaten bombs in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When you’re ready for round two, skip the microwave (soggy biscuits = sad times) and reheat at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes. That’ll bring back their crispy magic. Pro tip: freeze unbaked bombs on a tray first, then transfer to a bag – bake straight from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes!

Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Nutritional Information

Now, let’s talk numbers – but remember, these can vary based on your exact ingredients! Each delicious bomb clocks in around 280 calories with 16g of fat (worth every bite, if you ask me). They pack 16g of protein too, making them surprisingly satisfying for their size. Just don’t blame me when you can’t stop at one!

Frequently Asked Questions About Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

I get so many questions about these little flavor pockets – here are the answers you need:

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef? Absolutely! Just bump up the seasonings a bit, especially the garlic and onion powder. Turkey tends to be milder.
Can I freeze these? Yes! Freeze them before baking – just pop the assembled bombs on a tray until solid, then bag them. Bake frozen, adding 5 extra minutes.
Help! My cheese leaked out! No worries – they’ll still taste amazing! Next time, make sure your meat patties are sealed tight before wrapping in dough.
Can I use homemade biscuit dough? Of course! Just roll it to about 1/4-inch thickness. The refrigerated stuff just makes life easier.
Are these spicy? Not at all! But if you want heat, add some red pepper flakes to the beef or diced jalapeños with the cheese.

See? No mystery here – just cheesy goodness waiting to happen!
