Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by browning 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Once browned, drain any excess fat, then add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before folding in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one package of biscuit or pizza dough until it's flat. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 3-inch squares, ensuring they are uniformly sized for even baking.
  3. Take each dough square and place a generous spoonful of the beef-cheese mixture into the center. Carefully pinch the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no gaps to prevent leaks during baking. Roll each piece into a smooth ball shape.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture. Gently brush this mixture over the tops of each formed cheeseburger bomb.
  5. Place the assembled bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Generously sprinkle with ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once ready, bake the cheeseburger bombs for 15-18 minutes until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling.
