how to make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Make the filling, fill the biscuits, and bake. Cook the beef with garlic, mix in the cheddar so it melts, then wrap each scoop in a flattened biscuit. Seal well so the filling stays inside. Place them on a baking sheet and top with Parmesan before they go into the oven. This is like the filling step used in some meatloaf recipes such as the garlic parmesan chicken meatloaf, where you mix cooked meat with cheese for a soft center.
Ingredients :
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dipping sauces (optional)
Directions :
- Preheat the oven according to the biscuit dough package instructions.
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
- Open the biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits.
- Flatten each biscuit and place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center.
- Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Place the filled biscuits on a baking sheet and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake according to the biscuit dough instructions until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
how to serve Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Serve warm so the cheese is melty. Put them on a plate with small bowls of dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or a simple garlic aioli. They work as a snack, appetizer, or part of a casual meal. Cut one open to show the gooey center when you serve to guests.
how to store Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Cool them to room temperature first. Put leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to keep them crisp. You can freeze unbaked bombs on a tray, then transfer to a bag; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
tips to make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Drain extra grease from the cooked beef so the biscuits do not get soggy.
- Press edges tightly to seal and avoid leaks.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor.
- For a little more garlic hit, brush the tops with a mix of melted butter and minced garlic before baking.
- Try flavors from a creamy pasta like cajun chicken with creamy garlic parmesan linguine to inspire sauce pairings.
variation (if any)
- Add chopped pickles or a splash of mustard to the beef for a more classic cheeseburger taste.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Use crescent roll dough instead of biscuit dough for a flakier crust.
- Make mini versions using cookie scoop for party platters.
FAQs
Q: Can I use turkey or chicken instead of beef?
A: Yes. Cook ground turkey or chicken the same way. Season well to keep the flavor.
Q: Can I prepare these ahead of time?
A: Yes. Assemble and keep unbaked bombs in the fridge for a few hours, or freeze them on a tray then store in a bag for later baking.

A: Make sure you pinch the dough edges well and do not overfill. Chill filled bombs briefly before baking if needed.
