Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are juicy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. I love making them when I want something hearty and fun—kind of like a cheeseburger in a buttery, garlicky biscuit shell. They’re great for game days, parties, or even just when I’m craving something comforting and hand-held.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s everything I enjoy in a cheeseburger—beef, cheese, and savory seasonings—wrapped in a soft biscuit and brushed with garlic-Parmesan butter. They’re quick to make, easy to eat, and totally addictive. Whether I’m feeding a crowd or just myself, these bombs always satisfy.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 tsp minced garlic or garlic powder

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese (cubed cheese works too)

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

• Optional: pickles, mustard, or ketchup inside for flavor bursts

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, I cook the ground beef and onions until browned and fully cooked. I season with salt and pepper, then set it aside to cool slightly.

3. I flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch circle. I place a spoonful of the beef mixture and some cheese in the center of each circle.

4. I fold up the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal, forming a ball. I place each ball seam-side down on the baking sheet.

5. I mix the melted butter with the minced garlic (or garlic powder) and Parmesan, then brush it generously over each cheeseburger bomb.

6. I bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

7. I let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 8 cheeseburger bombs, perfect for sharing or storing for later.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15–18 minutes
Total time: 30–35 minutes
Servings: 4 (2 bombs per person)

Variations

• I stuff them with cooked bacon bits for a bacon cheeseburger twist.

• I mix in jalapeños for a spicy version.

• I add a small dollop of ketchup or mustard inside each bomb for built-in condiments.

• I use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits for a flakier texture.

• I switch out the cheddar for pepper jack, Swiss, or mozzarella depending on what I’m craving.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or microwave them for 30–60 seconds. For longer storage, I freeze them individually and reheat from frozen in the oven for 15–20 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep and fill the dough ahead of time, then refrigerate until I’m ready to bake. They’re great for make-ahead meals or parties.

What’s the best cheese to use?

I love using cheddar or American for that classic cheeseburger flavor, but mozzarella or pepper jack are great too.

Can I use ground turkey or chicken?

Absolutely. I’ve used both with great results—just be sure to season well and avoid overcooking the filling.

How do I keep the bombs from leaking?

I make sure to press the dough tightly and seal all edges before baking. I also avoid overfilling.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes! Once baked and cooled, I freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a bag. I reheat in the oven straight from frozen until warmed through.

Conclusion

Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are one of my favorite comfort foods in bite-sized form. They’re everything I love about a cheeseburger, wrapped up in a buttery garlic-Parmesan crust. Whether I’m serving them at a party or just indulging at home, they never last long.
