Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheeseburger Filling:

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese OR small cheese cubes
2 tablespoons ketchup (optional)
1 tablespoon mustard (optional)

For the Dough:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) OR homemade dough

Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping:

4 tablespoons melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft. Drain excess grease. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. (Mixing while warm helps create a gooey center.)

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Open the biscuit dough can and separate each biscuit. Gently flatten each one with your hands or a rolling pin to create small discs wide enough to hold the filling.

Step 3: Stuff the Cheeseburger Bombs

Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef filling in the center of each dough circle. Pull the edges up around the filling and pinch firmly to seal. Make sure they are sealed very well to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.

Step 4: Arrange and Brush with Garlic Parmesan Butter

Place the sealed balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and Italian seasoning. Brush each bomb generously.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14–18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. Brush with extra garlic butter after baking if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the bombs—too much filling makes them difficult to seal. Let the beef mixture cool slightly before adding cheese so it melts softly but doesn’t become runny. If using canned biscuits, avoid stretching too thin or the dough may tear.
