how to make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella/colby mix
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz, 8 large biscuits)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted and combined. Let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 to 5 inches wide. Place 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the mixture generously over each bomb.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Brush with extra garlic butter after baking if desired.
- Serve warm with a side of marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
