What Do Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Taste Like?

Think: buttery garlic bread meets cheeseburger sliders. You’ve got savory ground beef, gooey cheddar, and nutty Parmesan, all wrapped in a golden biscuit shell. The first bite is warm and cheesy; the second is addictive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

One of the best parts about making Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs is that the ingredient list is short and sweet—but every single item works hard to bring big flavor. Let’s break down what you’ll need and why it matters (because there’s nothing worse than wondering halfway through if that “optional” ingredient is really optional).

Ground Beef (1 pound): This is the heart of the recipe. I like using 85/15 for the right balance of flavor and juiciness without too much grease. If you prefer something lighter, you can swap in ground turkey or chicken.
Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Fresh garlic makes all the difference here. It gives that signature savory kick and blends beautifully with the beef. If you’re a garlic lover like me, a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder on top before baking doesn’t hurt either.
Parmesan Cheese (½ cup, diced): Don’t skimp on the Parmesan—it adds a salty, nutty depth that makes these little bombs taste gourmet, even though they’re made with biscuit dough.
Cheddar Cheese (1 cup, cubed): Cubes are key! They melt into gooey pockets inside each bomb. I’ve tried shredded before, but cubed cheddar creates that satisfying cheesy pull when you bite in.
Biscuit Dough (1 can, 16.3 oz): This is your shortcut to flaky, golden perfection. Store-bought canned biscuit dough is easy, but if you’re feeling ambitious, you could even use homemade. (Pairing this with a comforting soup like my Crockpot Creamy Chicken and Potato Soup makes a cozy dinner!)
Butter (2 tablespoons, melted): Brushing the tops before baking is what gives these bombs their irresistible golden shine.
Parsley (1 tablespoon, chopped): Just a little sprinkle adds freshness and color. Totally optional, but it makes your platter look like it came straight from a café.

👉 Pro Tip: All of these ingredients are affordable, easy to find, and can be kept on hand for last-minute snack attacks. You can even prep a double batch and freeze half for another night—your future self will thank you!

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Making these little golden beauties is easier than you think. Follow along step by step, and you’ll have a tray of warm, cheesy Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs ready in no time.

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 375°F. A hot oven is key to giving the biscuit dough that gorgeous golden brown finish. While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to keep everything from sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Beef and Garlic

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and the minced garlic.
Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the garlic smells amazing (your kitchen will start to smell like garlic bread heaven).
Drain any extra fat so the filling isn’t greasy.

Step 3: Add the Cheeses

With the skillet still warm, stir in the diced Parmesan and the cubes of cheddar. The heat will soften the cheddar, making the mixture extra gooey and irresistible.
You’ll want a cheesy, savory filling that holds together nicely—kind of like the inside of a cheeseburger slider, only more indulgent.

Step 4: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Open your can of biscuit dough (brace yourself for the pop!).
Flatten each biscuit into a small circle, about 4 inches wide. This makes room for plenty of filling.

Step 5: Fill and Seal the Bombs

Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Carefully fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges together to seal tightly. (This is important—you don’t want your cheese escaping in the oven.)
Place each bomb seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.

Step 6: Brush with Butter

Melt the butter and brush it generously over the tops of the bombs.
If you’d like, sprinkle on a little garlic powder or extra Parmesan for bonus flavor.

Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection

Slide the tray into your preheated oven. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and flaky.
Keep an eye on them—ovens vary, and you don’t want overdone bottoms.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let them cool just a couple of minutes (cheese filling can be lava-hot at first).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve warm and watch them disappear faster than you can make a second batch.

👉 Bonus idea: These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs pair beautifully with cozy soups like my Creamy Tomato Orzo Soup. Dip, dunk, or just enjoy them side by side for the ultimate comfort meal.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Seal the edges well—otherwise, you’ll end up with cheesy lava explosions on your baking sheet. (Still tasty, but a pain to clean up.)
Don’t skip the butter brush—it’s what gives them that golden glow and garlic-kissed flavor.
Mix up the cheese—mozzarella, pepper jack, or Colby all work beautifully.
Freeze ahead—assemble, freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake straight from frozen (just add a few extra minutes).

Funny side note: The first time I made these, my youngest called them “meatball biscuits” and insisted they were magic food. Honestly? He’s not wrong.

Storage for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
Freezer: Freeze baked bombs up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen.
Meal prep tip: Make a double batch and thank yourself later!

FAQs

Can I make these in the air fryer?
Yes! Air fry at 350°F for about 10 minutes until golden and crisp.

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Absolutely—it’ll be lighter but still delicious.

What dipping sauces go well with these?
Ranch, marinara, or even a little spicy sriracha mayo are all fantastic options.

These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are the snack you didn’t know you needed but won’t be able to stop making. Cheesy, garlicky, buttery, and just plain fun, they’ll steal the show at any gathering—or maybe just your next Tuesday night dinner.
