How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Parsley for garnish
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your bombs bake evenly and get that golden-brown color we all love.
Mix Beef Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything well until evenly combined. This mixture is where all the flavors come together.
Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough. Carefully separate the biscuits and flatten each one into a round disk. A rolling pin or your fingers will work great for this.
Fill Biscuits: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be sure not to overfill it; you want to be able to seal the edges properly.
Seal the Bombs: Fold the edges of each biscuit over the meat mixture to seal it. Pinch the sides together well to ensure that none of the filling escapes during baking. This step is crucial for keeping all those yummy flavors inside.
Prepare for Baking: Place the bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This helps in easy clean-up later.
Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the bombs with melted butter. This will give them a nice shine and added flavor once baked.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Watch for them to turn golden brown, which indicates they are done.
Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Grab a plate, serve those warm bombs, and enjoy!
