Ingredients

- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Optional: crispy bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, mix in shredded cheese until evenly combined. Add optional fillings like bacon or onions if using.
- Flatten each dough circle to about 4 inches across. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each.
- Pinch the edges to seal tightly, then roll into smooth balls and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Combine melted butter with minced garlic and brush generously over each dough ball. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Brush with remaining garlic butter right after baking and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
