Ingredients
  

For the Cheeseburger Filling
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 or leaner
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild
For the Dough
  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough about 8 biscuits, flaky layers work well
For the Garlic Parmesan Topping
  • 0.25 cup butter melted
  • 2 tbsp garlic finely minced
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese finely grated
For Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, optional

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Spatula
  • Small Bowl
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up into small crumbles. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Return the beef to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and gooey. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Separate the biscuit dough. Roll out each biscuit to about 1/4 inch thick. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture in the center of each. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch firmly to seal, forming a ball.
  5. Step 5: Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the tops and sides of each bomb with the garlic butter. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Let cool for a minute or two.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the biscuits to ensure they seal properly and don't burst. Pinch seams tightly. Pat cooked ground beef dry if it seems greasy before adding cheese. For best results, try to make the bombs roughly the same size for even baking. The beef filling can be cooked ahead and stored in the fridge. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer. Cooked bombs can be frozen for up to 2-3 months; reheat from frozen.
