Ingredients
For the Cheeseburger Filling:

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup diced pickles (optional)
For the Dough:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (for extra cheesiness)
For the Garlic Parmesan Butter Topping:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheeseburger Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, then mix in shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles (if using).
Step 2: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten each biscuit dough piece (or pizza dough) into a 4-inch circle.
- Spoon a small amount of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Add a little extra shredded cheese on top.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
- Place each bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake the Bombs
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Brush the garlic Parmesan butter over each dough ball.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, brush with more garlic butter for extra flavor!
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy them with ketchup, mustard, or a special dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.
Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Bombs
✔ Use pre-cooked dough for an easy shortcut, or make homemade dough if you prefer.
✔ Seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out.
✔ For extra cheesiness, place a cube of cheese inside each bomb.
✔ Customize your filling by adding crispy bacon bits, jalapeños, or caramelized onions.
