Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 16 (1/4-ounce) cubes
  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands!)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • small bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  2. Stir the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This step is crucial!
  3. While the meat cools, separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. Carefully split each biscuit into two thinner layers, giving you 16 flat rounds of dough.
  4. Take one round of dough and flatten it slightly with your fingers. Spoon about a tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center. Place one cube of cheddar cheese on top of the meat.
  5. Gently pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching them together tightly at the top to create a sealed ball. Roll it gently in your hands to smooth the seam. Place the ball, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
  7. Brush the garlic parmesan butter mixture generously over the top and sides of each cheeseburger bomb. Bake for 13-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  8. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or a classic burger sauce.

Notes

For the best results, allow the meat mixture to cool completely before assembling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Use block cheese instead of pre-shredded for a smoother, meltier center. These can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking, or frozen (baked or unbaked) for future enjoyment.
