Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: crispy bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions
  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough, cut into 8–12 circles and flattened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Let it cool slightly, then stir in the shredded cheese (and optional mix-ins like bacon or onions).
  3. Flatten each piece of dough into a circle about 4 inches wide. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle.
  4. Pinch the edges together to seal, then roll each one gently into a ball shape.
  5. Place each bomb seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
  6. Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush over the tops of each bomb. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  8. Remove from oven and brush with any leftover garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  9. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo.

Pro Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Bombs

  • Let the filling cool: Hot filling can make the dough soggy or hard to seal.
  • Don’t overfill: Use 1–2 tablespoons of filling to avoid spills during baking.
  • Seal completely: Pinch tightly to keep all that cheesy goodness inside.
  • Make ahead: Assemble bombs and refrigerate for up to a day before baking fresh.
