How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.

Step 2: Cook the beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Prep the dough

Separate the biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch round (use your hands or a rolling pin).

Step 4: Add filling

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture and a pinch of shredded cheese into the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges up and pinch to seal. Flip seam-side down.

Step 5: Make garlic butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.

Step 6: Bake

Place bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with garlic butter. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Finish and serve

Brush with more garlic butter (yes, more!). Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce.

What to Serve with Cheeseburger Bombs

These are great on their own, but they pair beautifully with:

• French fries or tater tots
• Side salad with a tangy vinaigrette
• Pickles or coleslaw
• Ranch or spicy mayo for dipping
• Tomato soup for a cheeseburger + soup combo

Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Bombs

• Don’t overfill—the dough needs room to seal
• Press dough seams together tightly to avoid leaking
• Let the beef mixture cool slightly before filling
• For crispier bottoms, bake directly on the pan (no liner)
• Add extra cheese inside for max gooeyness

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• Freezer: Freeze fully baked bombs in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes until heated through

Absolutely! Just cut crescent dough into squares or triangles and seal well. Bake time may be slightly shorter.

Are they freezer-friendly?

Very! Freeze them baked and reheat straight from frozen in the oven or air fryer.

Yes—swap the beef for cooked lentils, mushrooms, or plant-based crumbles with the same seasonings.
