But fear not, they’re surprisingly easy to make!
So, let’s get you sorted with everything you need to gather before we jump into the kitchen.
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these little delights:

Step-by-Step Instructions
Cooking up a batch of Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs isn’t only fun but also incredibly satisfying. You’ll love the way these cheesy bites come together effortlessly. Let’s plunge into the steps that will get you from ingredients to mouthwatering bites.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This little step is essential to prevent your bombs from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
- Brown the ground beef (1 lb) in a skillet over medium heat along with the minced garlic (2 cloves). While you’re at it, try to channel your inner chef and stir it around until it’s no longer pink—about 5 to 7 minutes. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat afterwards, or you might end up with a greasy mess.
- Stir in the cheesy goodness! Add in the shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup), grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, but save a bit for later), cream cheese (1/2 cup, softened), garlic powder (1 tsp), onion powder (1 tsp), salt, and pepper to taste. Mix it all up until fully combined and the cheese is nice and melty. Let this mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Flatten those biscuits! Grab that can of biscuit dough (1 can, 16.3 oz) and take out each biscuit. Flatten each piece into about a 3-inch round. This will be the cozy little home for your cheesy beef filling.
- Add the filling. Scoop a generous spoonful (about 1-2 tablespoons) of your beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each biscuit round. Now, here’s the fun part—gather up the edges and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. You want to make certain they’re sealed tight; we don’t want any cheesy overflow later on.
- Prepare for baking! In a small bowl, mix the melted butter (2 tbsp) with the reserved Parmesan cheese (the rest from earlier). Brush this lavish buttery mix over the tops of the assembled bombs for that golden, irresistible finish.
- Bake those beauties! Place the sealed bombs on your lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Let them bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Can you smell that? You might’ve to resist the urge to open the oven every minute, but trust the process.
- Garnish with love. Once they’re out of the oven and slightly cooled (you don’t want to burn your mouth on all that molten cheese), sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for that fresh pop of color and flavor.
And there you have it—your very own Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs ready to be devoured.
These delightful bites pair perfectly with an avocado slicer for a fresh and creamy dip option, adding a unique flavor twist to your experience.
Trust me, these little bites will have everyone coming back for more, especially when you serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mayo. Enjoy your delicious creations!
Tips & Variations
After pulling those warm, cheesy Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs out of the oven, it’s only natural to want to make them even more amazing. You can easily switch things up—try adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky kick or some jalapeños for heat. If you’re feeling adventurous, mix in some sautéed onions or mushrooms into that beef filling. Trust me, it elevates the flavor! And don’t forget about the dipping sauces; ketchup’s great, but a tangy mayo or a homemade aioli can really take it over the top. I learned the hard way that sealing the biscuits well is essential—otherwise, they might leak gooey cheese everywhere when you bite in. Let’s keep those cheesy goodness intact.
How to Serve?
Serving those irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs feels like a celebration in itself.
I usually present them on a nice platter, maybe with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for that fancy touch. Why not serve them with a side of ketchup or mayo? It’s not just about the flavor; it adds a bit of fun.
I’ll often pop them out of the oven, let them cool just a smidge, and then watch as everyone dives in. Trust me, seeing those gooey cheesy centers ooze out is priceless.
And don’t forget—the bigger the bite, the better the experience. Just try not to get cheese on your shirt; I’ve had my fair share of mishaps.
Enjoy the cheers and happy faces.
Storage & Reheating Guide
Even though those Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are usually devoured in record time, there’s a good chance you might’ve some leftovers if you’ve had a little too much fun at your gathering.
If that’s the case, don’t worry. Just let them cool down, then pop them in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to three days.
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, I recommend baking them at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes to get that crispy texture back. Microwaving’s not a crime, but they tend to lose their charm that way.
Additionally, pairing your bites with reusable glass water bottles is a sustainable choice that complements your culinary experience. Trust me, it’s worth the wait. Enjoy those bites again; they’re like little cheesy hugs for your taste buds.
