Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Filling:
- 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 small cubes of cheddar cheese or mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Dough:
- 1 (16 ounces / 450 grams) can refrigerated biscuit dough
Garlic Butter Topping:
- ¼ cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking results.
- Craft the savory filling by sautéing ground beef and onions in a skillet until the meat browns and vegetables soften. Eliminate excess grease, then introduce minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Allow flavors to meld for an additional minute before removing from heat.
- Transform refrigerated biscuit dough into delicate circular canvases by gently stretching each piece into approximately 4-inch rounds, creating a foundation for the upcoming flavor explosion.
- Construct the cheeseburger bombs by positioning a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef mixture at the center of each dough circle. Crown the meat with a cheese cube, then carefully fold and seal the dough edges, creating a seamless spherical package.
- Elevate the flavor profile by whisking together melted butter, fresh garlic, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley to create a luxurious aromatic coating.
- Generously brush the exterior of each dough ball with the garlic-infused butter mixture, then transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the bombs transform into golden-brown, perfectly crisp spheres.
- Allow the cheeseburger bombs to rest briefly after removing from the oven, permitting the internal temperature to stabilize. Serve immediately alongside complementary dipping sauces like tangy ketchup, creamy ranch, or robust marinara for an irresistible culinary experience.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier version of these delectable bombs.
- Ensure the dough edges are tightly sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking, creating perfect pocket-like parcels.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for unique flavor combinations that’ll excite your taste buds.
- Consider making these gluten-free by using gluten-free biscuit dough or creating a low-carb alternative with homemade fathead dough for those with dietary restrictions.
