Cheeseburger Bombs are handheld, golden-baked bites that combine juicy beef, melty cheese, and a buttery exterior, perfect for game day or party platters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat content preferred)
  • 1 small onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese (cut into 16 cubes)
  • 2 cans (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (16 biscuits total)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep the filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once no pink remains, add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Portion the cheese and beef: Cut the cheddar into 16 cubes and divide the cooled beef into 16 equal portions.
  3. Shape the bombs: Flatten each beef portion in your palm, place a cheddar cube in the center, and wrap the meat around it to form a ball. Repeat until all portions are used.
  4. Prepare the biscuit shells: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten each biscuit into a 3-4 inch circle, place a meat-and-cheese ball in the center, close the dough, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush and bake: Mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush each biscuit and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 12-16 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Garnish and serve warm: Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Cool the filling before wrapping it in biscuit dough to prevent soggy biscuits. Pinch seams well to avoid cheese leaks.
