Garlic
Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Black pepper
Cheddar cheese
Refrigerated biscuit dough
Butter
Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder

Directions

Prepare the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is softened. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Dough: Flatten each refrigerated biscuit dough piece into a circle. Place a small spoonful of the cooked beef mixture in the center of each dough round, followed by a cube of cheddar cheese.
Seal the Bombs: Gather the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to form a fully sealed ball.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter: In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Coat the Cheeseburger Bombs: Brush each sealed dough ball with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the bombs seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Let the cheeseburger bombs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or ketchup.

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper to the beef mixture for some heat.
Different Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese for a unique flavor.
Biscuit Alternatives: Try crescent roll dough or homemade bread dough for a different texture.
Extra Crunch: Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the buttered bombs before baking for an added crispy texture.
BBQ Twist: Mix barbecue sauce into the beef filling for a smoky, sweet variation.
