Irresistible garlic parmesan cheeseburger bombs are perfect for weeknight dinners or family parties. They take classic cheeseburgers and give them a flavorful twist by tucking all that beefy cheesy goodness inside a warm biscuit, then brushing with aromatic garlic butter and a blanket of parmesan. Each soft, golden bite is packed with big flavor, just the right amount of crunch and gooey cheese.
When I first tried stuffing burgers inside biscuit dough, I could not believe how quickly my friends finished the platter. Now I get requests for this at every movie night.
Gather Your Ingredients
- Ground beef: Use quality ground beef with at least 80 percent lean for juicy tasty results
- Salt: Essentials for bringing out every savory note
- Black pepper: Freshly ground gives better kick choose coarsely ground if possible
- Garlic powder: Adds deep garlicky undertones
- Onion powder: Sweetens and deepens the filling flavor
- Worcestershire sauce: The secret ingredient for umami richness and classic burger taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts perfectly inside for gooey pockets of cheese
- Refrigerated biscuit dough: Cuts time and creates a tender crust use high quality dough for best flavor
- Butter: Melted butter is brushed on for a golden top and rich flavor
- Finely minced garlic: Real garlic packs a big punch in the coating
- Grated parmesan cheese: Sprinkled on top for salty nutty bite
- Chopped fresh parsley: Brings color and a fresh pop to finish
How to Make It
- Make the Filling:
- In a skillet set over medium heat brown ground beef thoroughly while breaking up any clumps for around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off fat. Sprinkle the beef with salt black pepper garlic powder onion powder and Worcestershire. Stir until everything is fragrant and mixed well then add cheddar cheese. Gently fold cheese in until melted and gooey. Taste for seasoning.
- Shape the Bombs:
- Open biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits. Using a rolling pin flatten each to about one fourth inch thick. Place a full two tablespoon scoop of the beef and cheese mix in the center of each dough disc.
- Seal and Arrange:
- Bring the edges of dough up and over the filling stretching to prevent tearing. Pinch well at the top to make sealed balls. Place each seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet with some space between for even cooking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter:
- Melt butter and mix with garlic until smooth then use a brush to generously coat the tops of the dough balls. This gives a flavorful crust.
- Top with Parmesan:
- Sprinkle parmesan evenly over all the bombs so every bite gets some nutty cheese.
- Bake Until Golden:
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 375 F and bake for twelve to fifteen minutes. The tops should look golden brown the cheese bubbling through just slightly and the dough cooked through when tapped.
Every time I make these garlic bombs the parmesan cheese on top crisps up into the best little golden crust. My youngest always asks for extra garlic butter brushed on his before baking for more flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Serve piping hot with a side of marinara for dipping or classic burger toppings like pickles and ketchup on the side. These cheeseburger bombs pair well with a simple salad or crunchy vegetable sticks for contrast. For parties try cutting them in half for smaller bites.
Creative Twists
Try using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option but add extra seasoning to boost flavor. For the melted cheese swap sharp cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella to match your family’s tastes. Homemade biscuit dough works for an all-scratch version just ensure it is rolled equally thin for even baking.
