Bite-sized cheeseburger bombs stuffed with seasoned beef and melted cheddar, wrapped in buttery garlic-parmesan biscuit dough. Perfect game day appetizer.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked to 160°F internal temperature, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain excess fat and return beef to pan. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open refrigerated biscuit dough and separate biscuits. Flatten each into a 3-4 inch circle using fingers or rolling pin.
While beef mixture is still warm, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Place about 3-4 tablespoons of beef mixture in center of each flattened biscuit. Fold edges around filling and pinch seams tightly to seal.
Melt butter in a small bowl. Add grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if using. Mix well.
Brush tops and sides of each bomb generously with garlic parmesan butter mixture. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until biscuit dough is golden brown (like toasted bread) and filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
Use 80/20 ground beef for juiciest results. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted with added olive oil.
Sharp cheddar provides the best flavor, though mild works too.
Seal dough tightly and place seam-side down to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if cold.
For extra crispy exterior, add breadcrumbs to butter mixture before brushing.
