Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
Cheese:
- 12 small cubes of cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Filling and Seasoning:
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Dough:
- 1 (16 ounces / 450 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough
Garlic Butter Topping:
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Warm the cooking space to 375F (190C), preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to prevent adhesion.
- In a skillet, render the ground beef over medium heat, fragmenting the meat with a spatula. Once thoroughly browned, eliminate excess fat. Incorporate Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the meat mixture, then remove from thermal source.
- Extract refrigerated biscuit dough and delicately expand each round into a broader, thinner circular shape using fingertips.
- Deposit a modest portion of seasoned meat at the center of each dough circle, layering with abundant cheddar cheese. Meticulously envelope the filling by folding dough edges, ensuring complete sealing without gaps.
- Arrange sealed parcels onto prepared baking surface, positioning them with sufficient spacing. Roast for 12-15 minutes until surfaces transform into a rich golden hue and dough achieves complete internal cooking.
- Meanwhile, craft a luxurious coating by whisking melted butter with finely chopped garlic and grated Parmesan cheese. Upon removing the bombs from the oven, generously brush the aromatic mixture across the warm surfaces.
- Present these savory parcels immediately, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces or enjoyed independently for maximum gustatory pleasure.
Notes
- Seal biscuit edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking, creating perfect contained cheeseburger bombs.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles and exciting taste combinations.
- Pat ground beef dry before cooking to achieve better browning and prevent excess moisture in the filling.
- Customize the bombs for dietary needs by using lean ground turkey, gluten-free biscuit dough, or plant-based meat alternatives for a healthier spin.
