How to Make this Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. Take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper.

2. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook until no longer pink the ground beef. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then drain off excess fat.

3. Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, letting it simmer for a minute or two. Take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little.

4. Combine the cooked beef mixture with the shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix together until well combined.

5. Make each biscuit dough piece flat and form it into a 4-inch circle. In the middle of each circle, place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture.

6. Shape the dough into a ball with the filling inside. Seal the ball by folding over the edges of the dough and pinching together. When you can no longer see the dough, invert the ball so that the seam side is down on the prepared sheet pan.

7. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley.

8. Generously brush the mixture of garlic and butter over each cheeseburger bomb. Then, for topping, sprinkle on additional Parmesan cheese.

9. Put in the oven that has been heated to the right temperature for 15-18 minutes. Watch until the tops of the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked all the way through.

10. Let cool for a bit before serving. Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs warm.

Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For the ground turkey or chicken: Use ground beef as a leaner alternative.
To replace Worcestershire sauce:
Substitute with soy sauce or a mixture of soy sauce and a bit of vinegar for a similar umami flavor.
Use cheddar cheese or provolone for a different flavor profile in lieu of mozzarella.
You can use either homemade pizza dough or dough for crescent rolls as substitutes for the refrigerated biscuit dough.
To obtain an herb flavor similar to fresh parsley, use parsley flakes, or try fresh basil for a different, equally delicious alternative.

Pro Tips

1. Cool the Filling Allow the beef and cheese mixture to cool before filling the biscuit dough. This prevents the dough from becoming soggy and makes it easier to handle.

2. Use Cold Dough Keep the refrigerated biscuit dough cold until you’re ready to use it to ensure easier handling and better rise during baking.

3. Brush with Egg Wash For an extra golden and shiny finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a beaten egg mixed with a little water before baking.

4. Even Filling Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure even portions of the beef mixture in each biscuit to make sure each cheeseburger bomb cooks uniformly.

5. Cheese Choice Experiment with different cheese types; sharp cheddar or pepper jack can add a unique flavor twist to the classic mozzarella filling.
