These cheeseburger bombs are a fun, hand-held twist on classic burgers, featuring juicy beef, gooey cheese, and a golden garlic parmesan crust. Perfect for busy weeknights, parties, or family dinners, they’re quick, customizable, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness; turkey or plant-based ground also work)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill pickles (optional)
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces, like Pillsbury Grands; crescent roll dough also works)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat, until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess grease. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute to blend flavors. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Once the beef mixture is warm but not hot, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles.
  5. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the rounds. Flatten each round into a disk about 4-5 inches across.
  6. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each dough round. Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  7. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and half the parmesan. Brush generously over each bomb.
  8. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Brush hot bombs with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and fresh parsley. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Don’t overfill the dough to prevent bursting. Let the filling cool before assembling. For a vegetarian version, use plant-based crumbles and dairy-free cheese. These can be made ahead and reheated. Customize with bacon, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
