How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Step by Step

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even browning.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully browned. Drain excess fat and let the beef cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the dough.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuit or pizza dough and flatten each piece into a small circle. Don’t worry about perfection—rustic is part of the charm!

Step 4: Fill the Bombs

Spoon a portion of cooked beef into the center of each dough round. Top with shredded cheese, being careful not to overfill.

Step 5: Seal and Shape

Pull the dough edges up and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball. Place each one seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 6: Garlic Parmesan Butter

Mix melted butter with Parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Brush generously over each dough ball—this is where the magic happens.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 14–18 minutes, or until the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm while the cheese is perfectly melty.
