Servings

Serves: 6 people (12 cheeseburger bombs)

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 pound (450g) lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced pickles (optional)

For the Bombs

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (12 biscuits)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

For Serving

  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Burger sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onions and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Flatten each biscuit into a small circle. Place one tablespoon of beef mixture in the centre and top with shredded cheddar cheese and pickles, if using.

Bring the edges together and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.

Step 3: Bake

Place the cheeseburger bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush generously over each bomb and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favourite dipping sauce.

Recipe Notes

  • Use mozzarella cheese for an extra gooey filling.
  • Ground turkey can replace beef for a lighter option.
  • Add crispy bacon bits for a bacon cheeseburger version.
  • Pickles provide an authentic cheeseburger flavour but can be omitted.

Tips for Success

  1. Seal the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
  2. Let the beef cool before filling the dough.
  3. Do not overfill the bombs.
  4. Brush with garlic butter twice for extra flavour.
  5. Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melty.
