Scale
Meat and Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Dough and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Sesame seeds (optional)
- Additional Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Transform ground beef into a savory mixture by sautéing in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly.
- Enhance the meat’s flavor profile by incorporating garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ketchup, and mustard. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the seasonings.
- Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly, then fold in shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the upcoming culinary creation.
- Gently separate each biscuit dough and delicately flatten into thin, uniform circles.
- Carefully position a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef mixture at the center of each dough circle.
- Expertly gather the dough’s edges, pinching and sealing to create compact, perfectly rounded spheres with the filling securely enclosed.
- Arrange the assembled bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the sealed side faces downward to prevent unexpected leakage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the exterior achieves a golden, crispy appearance.
- Meanwhile, craft a luxurious garlic butter by combining melted butter, finely minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly chopped parsley.
- Immediately after removing the bombs from the oven, generously brush with the aromatic garlic butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Present the warm cheeseburger bombs alongside an array of complementary dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or creamy ranch dressing for an elevated dining experience.
Notes
- Customize meat by using ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for healthier protein options.
- Ensure ground beef is thoroughly cooked to prevent foodborne illnesses, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Seal cheeseburger bombs completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking, pressing edges firmly with fingertips.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or Swiss for unique flavor profiles and exciting taste combinations.
