Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cheeseburger Bombs:

• 1 lb ground beef (sub turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or use mozzarella for a gooey twist)
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade pizza dough)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated melts better!)

💡 Pro Tip: Want to make it spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped pickled jalapeños to the filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in a little oil until soft (about 3 minutes). Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Mix the filling: Remove from heat and stir in the cooked bacon and shredded cheese. Let it cool slightly.
4. Prepare the dough: Separate biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle.
5. Assemble the bombs: Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of each dough circle. Pinch and seal the edges to form a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Brush with egg wash for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
8. Make the garlic Parmesan butter: Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan in a small bowl.
9. Brush baked bombs with garlic Parmesan butter immediately after removing from the oven.
10. Serve warm with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping!
