The Art of Cheeseburger Bomb Perfection

Seasoning the Filling

Learning to properly season and cool the beef mixture ensures maximum flavor development and prevents the cheese from melting prematurely, creating the perfect texture for encasing in dough.

Dough Handling Technique

Mastering the art of flattening and stretching biscuit dough to the right thickness creates a tender yet sturdy wrapper that won't tear or become too thick and doughy.

Sealing and Shaping

Perfecting the pinching and sealing method prevents filling leakage and creates uniform bombs that bake evenly, resulting in professional-looking appetizers.

Garlic Butter Application

Understanding how to layer flavors through butter application before and after baking creates maximum garlic parmesan impact with a glossy, aromatic finish.

Temperature Control

Achieving the ideal baking temperature and timing ensures golden-brown exteriors with fully cooked, gooey interiors that maintain their shape while delivering that perfect cheese pull.

Master Chef Secrets for Perfect Cheeseburger Bombs

Sealing Technique: Make sure to pinch the seam very tightly and place bombs seam-side down to prevent cheese from leaking during baking. A small amount of leakage is normal and adds to the delicious appearance.

Cheese Choice: Sharp cheddar provides the best flavor, but you can use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella for extra stretchiness. Avoid pre-shredded cheese as it contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.

Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the bombs completely and refrigerate unbaked for up to 4 hours. Brush with garlic butter just before baking and add 2-3 minutes to baking time.

Storage Instructions: Store leftover bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness.

Flavor Variations: Add crumbled bacon to the filling, swap parmesan for asiago cheese, or include diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Dough Temperature: Work quickly with the biscuit dough while it's still cold. If it becomes too warm and sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before continuing.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Beef Filling:

1 pound ground beef, 80/20 blend

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced onion, finely chopped

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Dough:

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, 8 large biscuits

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for dusting

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Special Equipment:

Large baking sheet

Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Pastry brush

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion for 6-8 minutes until the meat is fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Season the cooked beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let cool for 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate into 8 individual biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully gather the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching firmly to seal completely.

Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create the garlic parmesan butter.

Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top and sides of each bomb with the garlic parmesan butter mixture.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bombs are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.

Remove from oven and immediately brush with any remaining garlic parmesan butter. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese filling to set slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
