Here's a fun one—these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs get eaten up so fast at any hangout. It's like the best cheesy burger squished into a buttery, flaky biscuit. I whip these up for football nights, potlucks, or just a chill dinner with some greens.

Why You'll Flip for These

Think buttery biscuits loaded with cheeseburger taste, all hugged in garlic and parmesan. They're done super quick—just 30 minutes—and honestly, nobody says no to that melty cheese center. They're a total crowd-pleaser, grown-ups and kids alike.

Stuff You'll Need

  • For the Outside:
    • Can biscuit dough
    • Melted butter
    • Grated Parmesan
    • Fresh parsley if you want
  • For the Filling:
    • Soft cream cheese (½ cup)
    • Ground beef (1 lb)
    • Shredded cheddar (1 cup)
    • Garlic and onion powder
    • Salt and pepper

Easy Steps to Yum

Bake It Up:
Pop in the oven for about 15 minutes until they're puffed and golden.
Give 'Em Some Flavor:
Brush with a buttery garlic-Parmesan mix before baking.
Keep 'Em Sealed:
Flatten a biscuit, fill up with your meat mix, and pinch it closed.
Mix That Filling:
Brown your beef with the seasonings. Mix in both cheeses so it's nice and creamy.
Line Up:

Serve It Up

Dunk these in ranch, marinara, or BBQ—whatever's your jam. They go awesome with a crisp side salad, or line them up for your party table. Keep 'em in the fridge up to three days, or freeze before baking and pop 'em in when you want!

Common Questions

→ How do I prep these in advance?

They're tastiest hot out of the oven. You can always get the filling ready early, then put them together before you bake.

→ Why chill the filling before stuffing?

If the filling’s too warm, the dough gets hard to pinch closed. A cooler filling helps keep the insides in place.

→ Could I swap in other cheeses?

Definitely! Pepper jack or mozzarella are both tasty changes.

→ How do you keep filling from oozing out?

Pinch the dough edges nice and tight after the filling’s cooled a bit. That seals them up well.

→ What dips go with these?

Use ranch, burger sauce, marinara, or whatever you love on burgers for dipping.
