Ingredients for Cheeseburger Bombs with Garlic Butter

1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping, optional)
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)

2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Cheeseburger Bombs with Garlic Butter

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up as it browns.

Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add ketchup and mustard, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Assemble the Cheeseburger Bombs

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each into a 4-inch round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the beef-cheese mixture onto the center of each disc.
Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the seams closed tightly to form a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley.
Brush half of the garlic butter over the tops of the dough balls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter.
Let cool for 3-4 minutes, then serve warm and gooey.

Notes for Perfect Cheeseburger Bombs with Garlic Butter

Don’t overfill the dough—too much filling can cause leaks. For more tips on working with biscuit dough, check out King Arthur Baking’s biscuit guide.

If using homemade dough, be sure to chill it slightly before assembling for easier handling.
Melted cheese is best right out of the oven, but these can be reheated for next-day snacking.
