Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 6 oz (170g) cheddar cheese, cut into 16 small cubes
- 2 cans (16.3 oz/462g each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Return the skillet to low heat and add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the ketchup and mustard until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough While the meat mixture cools, open the biscuit cans and separate the dough into individual biscuits. Take each biscuit and flatten it with your palm or a rolling pin into a 4-inch circle. You’ll need to work relatively quickly as the dough warms up and becomes stickier. If needed, lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
- Step 3: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs Place about 1½ tablespoons of the cooled meat mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a cube of cheddar cheese. Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching firmly at the top to seal completely. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Step 4: Add the Garlic Parmesan Topping In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley. Brush this mixture generously over each dough ball. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops.
- Step 5: Bake to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and brush again with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese on top and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the bombs are golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with the remaining parsley for a fresh flavor and beautiful color contrast.
