How to Make Cheeseburger Bombs: Step-by-Step

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cook the Beef Mixture

In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb of ground beef and 1 finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.

3. Season the Beef

Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Dough

Open your can of refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each round with your hands.

5. Fill and Seal

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough round, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a ball.

6. Bake

Place the balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy! Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard. These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cheese is at its melty perfection.

What to Serve with Cheeseburger Bombs

These bombs pair beautifully with a fresh side salad or some crispy fries. You can also set up a dipping station with ketchup, mustard, and even BBQ sauce to take things to the next level!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cheeseburger Bombs

• Make Ahead: Prep the bombs up to a day ahead and store them uncooked in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just pop them in the oven!
• Freezing: These freeze well! After baking, let them cool completely before freezing. To reheat, bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
• Don’t Overfill: Resist the temptation to overstuff the dough, or they might burst in the oven. A tablespoon of filling works best.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350°F to crisp up the outside again. They also reheat well in an air fryer!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely! Ground turkey works just as well and makes these a bit leaner.

What can I serve with these for a party?

Try a selection of dipping sauces—ranch, BBQ, or even a spicy mayo—for guests to customize each bite.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, simply use a gluten-free biscuit dough to make these bombs friendly for gluten-free diets.
