My latest obsession from my kitchen experiments is these absolutely incredible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs. Picture biting into a warm buttery biscuit filled with perfectly seasoned beef and melted cheese that just oozes out. Every time I make these for my family game nights they disappear faster than I can plate them. The secret is in my garlic parmesan butter that creates this irresistible golden crust.
A Recipe You'll Want to Keep Forever
I discovered this recipe during a rainy weekend when my kids were craving something different than regular cheeseburgers. The combination of cream cheese and sharp cheddar creates this amazing gooey center that just works. The best part is I use store bought biscuits which makes everything so much quicker. My teenage son now requests these for his football team gatherings.

- Ground Beef: One pound of lean beef keeps these perfectly juicy without being greasy.
- Cheddar Cheese: A cup of sharp cheddar gives that classic burger taste.

Why These Are Simply Amazing
These little bombs of happiness work for absolutely any occasion. My daughter loves helping me customize different versions and they always disappear at every party. I often make extra because everyone asks to take some home.
Mix It Up Your Way
Sometimes I use ground turkey when my sister visits because she prefers it. Adding sautéed mushrooms gives an amazing flavor boost. My husband loves when I add a bit of heat with some red pepper flakes. The possibilities are endless.
What Goes Great With These
We love dipping these in ranch or my homemade marinara sauce. A simple green salad on the side makes it feel like a complete meal. On cold days I serve them with tomato soup and it's absolutely perfect.
Saving Some For Later
Keep any leftovers in a container in your fridge they'll stay good for three days. Pop them in the oven at 350°F for about ten minutes to get that crispy outside back. You can even freeze them before baking just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Quick Answers to Common Questions
You can absolutely use homemade biscuit dough if you have time. Make them ahead and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to bake. For my vegetarian friends I swap the beef for a mushroom and onion mix that tastes incredible.
