How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned (about 5 minutes). Drain excess fat.
- Stir in salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and mustard (or ketchup). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix in the cooked bacon, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a small circle (about 4 inches wide).
- Place a spoonful of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly (like a dumpling).
- Place the sealed side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs
- Brush each bomb with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden crust.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter
- While the bombs bake, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the bombs generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for the ultimate cheesy, garlicky topping.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, dipped in ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce!
