Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe
Introduction
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a fun and flavorful twist on classic cheeseburgers. Packed with juicy seasoned beef, melted cheese, and brushed with garlicky parmesan butter, they make the perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8–10 small cheese cubes (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 can crescent roll dough (or homemade pizza dough)
Garlic Parmesan Butter
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is browned and onions are softened.
- Step 2: Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes more, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Flatten each piece of biscuit or dough with your hands into a thin circle.
- Step 4: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle, then top with a small cheese cube.
- Step 5: Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal the bomb completely. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bombs for 12–15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Step 7: While baking, combine melted butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, and chopped parsley in a small bowl to make the garlic parmesan butter.
- Step 8: Remove the bombs from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the garlic parmesan butter. Serve warm for the best melty experience.
Tips & Variations
- Use mozzarella for a gooey, stretchy cheese pull or cheddar for a sharper flavor.
- Add diced pickles or cooked bacon to the beef mixture for extra taste and texture.
- If you prefer homemade dough, pizza dough works wonderfully and adds a nice chew.
- Make the garlic parmesan butter ahead and keep warm for easy brushing right after baking.
Storage
Store leftover cheeseburger bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can swap in any cheese that melts well such as Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack to add a spicy kick.

Absolutely. Assemble the bombs and store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple more minutes to the baking time if baking directly from chilled.

Ingredients
Cheeseburger Filling
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8–10 small cheese cubes (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 can crescent roll dough (or homemade pizza dough)
Garlic Parmesan Butter
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions until browned and fully cooked. Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to incorporate the flavors, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Assemble the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit or dough piece with your hands to create a small disk. Place a spoonful of the cooled beef mixture in the center of the dough, then top with a cheese cube. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely. Place each sealed dough bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cheeseburger bombs for 12–15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Add Garlic Parmesan Butter: While the bombs are baking, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, and chopped parsley. Once the bombs are out of the oven and still hot, brush each one generously with the garlic parmesan butter for a rich, flavorful finish. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar or mozzarella cheese cubes with your favorite cheese if desired.
- If using homemade pizza dough, roll it out and cut into biscuit-sized disks before filling.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the beef mixture.
- These bombs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the bake time if baking from cold.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
