Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 12 small cubes cheddar cheese or mozzarella
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 (16 oz / 450 g) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsps grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 375F (190C) and drape a parchment-lined baking sheet for pristine cooking conditions.
- Flavor Foundation: In a skillet, sauté ground beef and onions until meat caramelizes and vegetables soften. Drain excess fat, then incorporate minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer briefly to harmonize flavors, then retire from heat.
- Dough Transformation: Tenderly expand refrigerated biscuit dough into delicate 4-inch rounds, creating a canvas for the culinary masterpiece.
- Bomb Assembly: Position a robust spoonful of seasoned beef at the dough’s center. Nestle a cheese cube within the meat, then meticulously fold and seal edges, crafting a seamless spherical parcel.
- Aromatic Coating: Whisk melted butter with fresh garlic, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley, generating a luxurious flavor-enhancing glaze.
- Final Baking: Lavish the dough spheres with garlic-butter mixture. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake 15-18 minutes until achieving a burnished, crisp exterior.
- Serving Suggestion: Rest bombs momentarily post-baking, then present with complementary dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or marinara for a tantalizing gastronomic adventure.
Notes
- Manage Meat Moisture: Drain ground beef thoroughly after cooking to prevent soggy dough and ensure crisp, well-structured cheeseburger bombs.
- Choose Quality Cheese: Select hard cheese cubes like cheddar or mozzarella that melt smoothly and maintain structural integrity during baking.
- Control Dough Stretching: Gently stretch biscuit dough without tearing to create uniform, sealed pockets that prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based alternatives, and use gluten-free biscuit dough to accommodate different dietary preferences while maintaining the recipe’s delicious essence.
