There’s something incredibly comforting about the flavors of a classic cheeseburger—juicy beef, melty cheese, savory seasoning—but when those familiar flavors are wrapped up into a warm, golden bite-sized bomb brushed with garlic butter and parmesan, they become downright irresistible. Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are the kind of recipe that disappears almost as fast as you set them down. Whether you’re making them for game day, a casual family dinner, or a party appetizer table, these little bombs deliver big flavor in every bite.

What makes this recipe especially magical is how simple it is. Store-bought biscuit dough acts as the perfect soft, fluffy wrapper for seasoned beef and gooey cheese, while a final brushing of garlic butter and parmesan transforms them into bakery-worthy bites. They’re easy enough for a weeknight but impressive enough for entertaining, which makes them one of those recipes you’ll come back to again and again.

These cheeseburger bombs are also endlessly customizable. You can tweak the cheese, adjust the seasoning, or even sneak in extra fillings to make them your own. Served hot from the oven, with cheese stretching as you pull them apart, they capture everything we love about comfort food—warm, indulgent, and meant to be shared.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a spoonful of seasoned beef in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Top the beef with a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching tightly to seal and form a ball.
Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush generously over each bomb.
Sprinkle the tops with grated parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
