Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb ground beef

1/2 small onion, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

2 tbsp butter, melted

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain any excess grease. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Remove from heat.

Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal completely, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Brush the tops of the cheeseburger bombs with this mixture.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown.

Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Servings and Timing
Servings: 8 bombs

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Variations
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for added heat.

Different Cheeses: Substitute cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.

Bacon Addition: Incorporate crumbled cooked bacon into the filling for a smoky taste.

Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based ground meat and dairy-free cheeses to create a vegetarian-friendly version.

Mini Bombs: Use smaller portions of dough and filling to create bite-sized appetizers.

Storage/Reheating
Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Freeze unbaked cheeseburger bombs for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crust’s texture.

FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the cheeseburger bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Absolutely. Homemade biscuit or pizza dough can be used in place of refrigerated dough.

What dipping sauces pair well with these bombs?
Ranch dressing, ketchup, mustard, or marinara sauce complement the flavors well.

Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat substitutes can be used instead of ground beef.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking out?
Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed tightly and placed seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Certainly. Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach can be added to the beef mixture.

Are these suitable for freezing after baking?
While best enjoyed fresh, baked cheeseburger bombs can be frozen and reheated in the oven, though the texture may slightly change.

Can I make a larger batch for a party?
Yes, simply double or triple the recipe ingredients to accommodate more servings.

How do I know when they are fully cooked?
The bombs should be golden brown on top, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuit dough?
Yes, puff pastry can be used for a flakier texture, but baking times may vary.
