• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)

8. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the dough ball.
9. Place the dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
10. Whisk together the melted butter, garlic, parmesan, and parsley.
11. Brush half of the butter mixture onto the dough balls.
12. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
13. Brush with the remaining butter mixture and serve warm.

How To Serve It

Serve these while the cheese is still melty and warm. They look amazing on a big wooden serving platter. Pair them with a crisp green salad or salty fries. They are the ultimate crowd-pleasing snack for any party. Dipping them in ranch or ketchup is a great idea.

Leftovers & Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven to keep the crust perfectly crisp. Avoid the microwave to prevent the dough from getting soggy. You can even freeze these for a quick future meal. Simply pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes.

Make It Even Better (Pro Tips)

• Seal the dough very tightly to keep the cheese inside.
• Use lean ground beef to avoid a greasy biscuit bottom.
• Don’t skip the second brush of garlic butter after baking.
• Space them two inches apart on the tray for even browning.
• Try sharp cheddar for the most intense flavor profile.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Let the beef cool so the dough doesn’t melt early.
• Use a silicone mat for the easiest cleanup possible.

Easy Ways To Change It Up

• Add cooked bacon bits for a bacon cheeseburger version.
• Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese to get more heat.
• Use ground turkey for a lighter dinner option in Spring.
• Add diced pickles inside for a classic burger tang.

Quick Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the beef filling a day early. Just assemble and bake them when you are ready. This makes party hosting much easier and stress-free for you.

What if I don’t have biscuit dough?

You can use pizza dough or crescent roll dough instead. The texture will change slightly but it still tastes great. Just ensure you seal the edges well regardless of dough.

I hope you love these cheeseburger bombs as much as I do. They are a total game-changer for busy nights. Give them a try and enjoy every bite!
