Ingredients
For the Cheeseburger Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced pickles (optional)
For the Dough:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce until browned. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles if using.
- Prepare the Dough: Flatten each biscuit dough round into a 4-inch circle.
- Assemble the Bombs: Spoon about a tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges together to seal and roll into a ball.
- Bake: Place the sealed balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make Garlic Parmesan Butter: While the bombs are baking, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Coat the Bombs: Once the cheeseburger bombs are done, brush them generously with the garlic Parmesan butter.
- Serve: Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or marinara.
