Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated biscuit dough
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). If baking, lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Separate the biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit round slightly.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Carefully wrap the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the seams to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball.
If baking, place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. If using an air fryer, place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Brush the tops of the cheeseburger bombs with the garlic Parmesan butter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or air fry for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For make-ahead, prepare the cheeseburger bombs up to the point of baking. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake or air fry as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking from chilled.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, sriracha mayo, or a classic burger sauce.
These are great for game day parties and can be made in large batches.
