Ingredients

• Ground beef: One pound is just right picks up flavor and stays moist

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the Oven:

Get your oven to three seventy five so it is hot and ready when you need it. Line your baking sheet with parchment so nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze.

Brown the Beef:

Cook your ground beef with the minced garlic over medium-high heat. Take six to eight minutes to really brown the meat and let the garlic get fragrant. When no pink remains drain off extra fat so the filling is savory not greasy.

Cheese It Up:

Take the skillet off the heat and stir in both cheeses. The hot meat will gently melt the chunks making the mixture creamy and evenly cheesy. Make sure every spoonful gets cheese.

Shape the Biscuits:

Pop open the biscuit tube and carefully split into individual pieces. With clean hands flatten each one into a circle about four inches across. They should be thin but not tearing.

Fill and Seal:

Spoon a generous pile of beef cheese mix into the center of each dough circle. Bring the edges up and pinch them closed using your fingers to really seal tight. No cracks means no leaks.

Brush and Bake:

Set the bombs seam side down on your lined tray. Brush each with melted butter making sure every spot is covered. This gets them that signature golden hue. Slide tray into the oven.

Bake to Perfection:

Check after twelve minutes but go up to fifteen. The tops should be puffed and deeply golden. You might smell the garlic and cheese wafting out.

Garnish and Serve:

Let bombs cool a couple of minutes so no one gets burned. Finish with chopped parsley sprinkled over the top. Serve warm and watch them fly off the plate.

Parmesan is my hands-down favorite here it adds a salty tang that balances the richness and picking those golden crusty bits off the tray is my secret pleasure. The first time my grandmother tried one she laughed out loud and said it tasted like everything good about a burger but easier to eat.

Storage Tips

Keep extra cheeseburger bombs wrapped tightly in foil or in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. When ready to reheat pop them in a hot oven for five to eight minutes until crisp and warm all the way through. Microwaving works but the crust gets softer.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack if you want creamier or spicier bombs. If using frozen meat instead of fresh be sure it is fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to avoid soggy fillings. For the dough try pizza dough or even homemade biscuit dough for a different texture and a more hands-on experience.

Serving Suggestions

Pairs perfectly with tangy ranch dip zesty marinara or classic burger sauce for dunking. Add a fresh green salad or crunchy veggie slaw on the side and you have an easy meal. For parties set these out on a platter with a variety of dips to suit every guest.
