Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough & Topping
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the bites.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula to crumble evenly. Drain off any excess fat.
- Season and Add Cheese: Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese while the beef is still hot, allowing it to melt and combine thoroughly.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out each biscuit dough piece until it is approximately 1/4 inch thick to allow for filling and sealing.
- Fill and Seal: Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture onto the center of each rolled-out biscuit. Fold the edges of the dough around the filling carefully and pinch to seal, forming a tight ball. Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on the lined baking sheet.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and finely minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the tops of each cheeseburger bomb for a flavorful crust.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic butter coated bites to add a savory, cheesy finish.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the cheeseburger bites with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your irresistible appetizer!
Notes
- For an extra cheesy surprise, place a small cube of cheddar cheese in the center of each bomb before sealing.
- Experiment with different cheese blends, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, to vary the flavor profile.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ sauce for added taste and fun.
- These bites can be made ahead and frozen; just reheat them in the oven for a quick and delicious snack option.
