Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices American cheese, cut into quarters
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard (optional)

For the Dough:

  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

For Garnish & Dipping:

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • ½ cup ketchup or burger sauce for dipping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and cook until the beef is browned. Drain excess grease and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, mix in shredded cheddar cheese and mustard (if using) for extra flavor.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch circle. Place a small spoonful of the beef mixture in the center and top with a piece of American cheese. Fold the edges up and over the filling, pinching tightly to seal, forming a smooth, sealed ball. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake & Finish
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the butter mixture generously over each bomb and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Let the cheeseburger bombs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of ketchup, burger sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for the ultimate bite-sized burger experience.

Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Bombs

  • Seal the Dough Tightly – Prevents cheese from leaking out while baking.
  • Use High-Quality Cheese – Melts better and gives a richer flavor.
  • Chill the Filling – Slightly cooled beef is easier to work with.
  • Brush Butter Generously – Enhances the golden, crispy texture.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked bombs for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen at 350°F for 20 minutes.
  • Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 375°F for 3-4 minutes.
