Golden, buttery, and oozing with cheesy goodness, Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are the ultimate comfort food disguised as bite-sized indulgence. Imagine juicy, seasoned beef and gooey melted cheese wrapped in a fluffy biscuit shell, brushed with garlic butter and dusted in Parmesan — it’s your favorite burger and garlic bread in one glorious bite.
Perfect for parties, game nights, or a casual weeknight dinner, these little bombs pack bold flavor with minimal effort. Serve them up with dipping sauces or a simple side salad, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing hit that’s crispy on the outside and rich on the inside.
What Kind of Biscuit Dough Should I Use?
Refrigerated biscuit dough works perfectly for this recipe. Look for a flaky variety, which gives that light, layered texture that pairs beautifully with the savory filling. You can also use crescent roll dough if you want a slightly sweeter and softer finish.
Ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Ground Beef – The juicy base of your filling. Use lean ground beef for a less greasy result, but still rich in flavor.
Garlic Powder & Onion Powder – These bring warmth and depth to your beef, infusing each bite with classic burger flavor.
Worcestershire Sauce – Adds umami and intensifies the meat’s savory richness.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Sharp and melty, cheddar gives you that signature cheeseburger center.
Refrigerated Biscuit Dough – The pocket that holds all the goodness. It bakes to golden perfection and is incredibly easy to work with.
Butter – Melted and used for brushing, this gives each bomb that irresistible glossy finish.
Minced Garlic – Mixed with the butter for a fragrant, flavorful coating.
Grated Parmesan Cheese – Sprinkled on top for that nutty, salty crunch.
Parsley (Optional) – Adds a fresh pop of green and a mild herbal note.


How To Make the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked through. Drain excess grease, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for a couple of minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly before adding the cheese.
Step 2: Stir in the Cheese
Once the beef mixture is slightly cooled, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese starts to melt and evenly coats the beef mixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Flatten each biscuit into a round disc using your hands or a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal completely.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter Topping
While the bombs bake, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. As soon as the bombs come out of the oven, brush each with garlic butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if using.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Let the bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or spicy mayo for an extra kick.
Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
These cheeseburger bombs are best served fresh out of the oven when they’re warm and gooey inside with a buttery, crisp shell. Set them out on a platter with a variety of dipping sauces — ranch, honey mustard, and spicy mayo are always crowd favorites.
For storing, let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
