Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Dough & Coating

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onions until they become soft and translucent. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned thoroughly, then drain off any excess fat to avoid greasiness.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Stir the chopped cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture. Allow it to cool slightly so it’s easier to handle when stuffing the dough.
  4. Prepare Dough Circles: Flatten each piece of refrigerated biscuit dough into a 4-inch diameter circle. This will create the perfect pouch for the filling.
  5. Fill and Seal: Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal fully into a ball. Position each sealed ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each cheeseburger bomb with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden and shiny finish when baked.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is puffed up and golden brown on the outside.
  8. Prepare Garlic Parmesan Butter: While the bombs are baking, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. This flavorful butter will be brushed on after baking for an extra burst of flavor.
  9. Brush Bombs: As soon as the cheeseburger bombs come out of the oven, generously brush them with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture.
  10. Serve: Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or a creamy ranch, and enjoy their explosive garlic Parmesan bacon goodness.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the excess fat after browning the beef to prevent soggy dough.
  • You can customize the cheese choice; mozzarella or pepper jack would add different flavor profiles.
  • If preferred, add diced pickles or mustard inside for an authentic cheeseburger taste.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven and size of bombs.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the beef mixture.
