How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4 to 5-inch circle. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Carefully pull the edges of the dough up around the filling, pinching to seal and form a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush each cheeseburger bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly and serve warm. These are perfect with ketchup, ranch dressing, or extra garlic butter for dipping.
