Tips & Variations

• Try different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for unique taste profiles.
• You can add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the beef mixture for added texture and flavor.
• For a crispy finish, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.

Storage

Store leftover cheeseburger bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes to retain their crispiness. They can also be frozen before baking; thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works well and allows you to customize flavors or thickness. Just roll the dough into 4-inch circles as instructed.

Are these cheeseburger bombs safe to make ahead for parties?

Absolutely. You can assemble them a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated until baking time. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if chilling before baking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Meat Mixture

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Dough & Topping

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time your cheeseburger bombs are assembled.
2. Cook Beef and Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the crushed garlic cloves until the beef is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to avoid greasiness in the final product.
3. Season and Add Cheese: Stir in the Italian seasoning into the cooked beef, then add the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and is well combined with the meat and seasoning mixture.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Flatten each refrigerated biscuit into a circle approximately 4 inches wide using your hands or a rolling pin. This creates enough space to enclose the filling.
5. Fill and Seal: Spoon about two tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal completely, forming a sphere or ‘bomb’ shape.
6. Arrange and Bake: Place each sealed biscuit ball onto a greased baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a golden brown color.
7. Add Parmesan Cheese: Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for a flavorful finishing touch. Serve warm.

Notes

• You can substitute mozzarella or cheddar with your preferred melting cheese for different flavor profiles.
• Ensure you seal the biscuit dough tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
• These can be served with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
