Notes
Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs – Helpful Tips
Cooking Tips & TechniquesUse refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade dough for a fluffy, golden crust that bakes up beautifully.
Cook the ground beef with diced onions, garlic, salt, and pepper until browned and flavorful—drain any excess grease to avoid sogginess.
Stir in shredded cheddar (or American cheese) while the beef is warm so it melts evenly into the filling.
When shaping, seal the dough tightly around the filling to prevent leaks during baking. Pinch the seams well and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan before and after baking for that extra flavor-packed crust. Serving Suggestions
Serve hot from the oven with a side of ketchup, burger sauce, or spicy mayo for dipping.
Pair with fries, tater tots, or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
These make excellent game day snacks, party appetizers, or lunchbox hits.
Slice them in half and serve on a platter with pickles and dipping sauces for a fun appetizer tray.
Try adding a side of roasted vegetables or coleslaw for balance. Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: Prepare the beef and cheese filling up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge. You can also shape and refrigerate unbaked bombs overnight.
Refrigerator: Store baked bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze unbaked bombs on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 325°F or in an air fryer until warmed through and the crust is crisp again. Tasty Variations to Try
Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs: Add crumbled cooked bacon to the beef mixture for a smoky, savory twist.
Spicy Jalapeño Bombs: Stir chopped jalapeños into the cheese filling or top with pepper jack.
Mushroom Swiss Version: Use sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese instead of cheddar for a gourmet-style bite.
BBQ Cheeseburger Bombs: Mix in a tablespoon of BBQ sauce with the beef and use smoked cheddar or gouda.
Low-Carb Option: Use fathead dough or a keto-friendly biscuit mix to keep it low in carbs.
