Directions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease.
Season the Filling: Add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Dough: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a small circle.
Assemble the Bombs: Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each dough circle. Add a cube or small slice of cheddar cheese on top.
Seal and Shape: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll gently into a ball shape.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and garlic powder.
Coat the Bombs: Brush the garlic Parmesan butter mixture over each cheeseburger bomb.
Bake: Arrange the cheeseburger bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce!
