Why Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Are a Must-Try

What sets these cheeseburger bombs apart is their irresistible contrast—crisp on the outside, melty and savory on the inside, finished with a punchy parmesan-garlic topping. They’re bite-sized, hand-held, and immensely fun to eat, making them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Perfecting the Filling for Maximum Flavor

Start by cooking ground beef with onions, garlic, and seasonings. For even, quick dicing of onions and other veggies, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper helps save time and ensures uniform pieces for the filling. Sauté the ingredients until aromatic and the beef is browned, then blend in your preferred cheese—cheddar and mozzarella work beautifully for meltability.

If you want to sneak in extra flavor or veggies, chopped pickles or jalapeños add a zesty kick!

Wrapping and Baking (or Air Frying!)

Encasing the luscious cheeseburger mix in store-bought biscuit dough keeps the recipe simple and approachable. Roll out each biscuit, fill, and seal into a ‘bomb.’ A final rolling in melted butter, minced garlic, and parmesan gives them their decadent finish.

For fast, crispy results, pop them in a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1—it delivers a golden crust in minutes and is ideal for batch cooking. If you prefer baking, a layer of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll on your baking sheet makes cleanup effortless and prevents sticking.

Serving Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs for Maximum Enjoyment

For entertaining or family-style serving, place your cheeseburger bombs in a large basket lined with parchment. A side of dipping sauce—think zesty ketchup, spicy mayo, or ranch—takes these from delicious to addictive. For on-the-go or packed lunches, the Bentgo Salad Container is great for transport and guarantees your bombs stay fresh.

Pair these bombs with a light salad or classic kettle chips for a balanced plate.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F or set your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 350°F. Line baking tray with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for nonstick baking.
2. In a large skillet (such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch), brown the ground beef over medium heat. Use a spatula to break it apart. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until beef is browned and onions are tender. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and any optional mix-ins.
3. Remove from heat, drain any excess fat, and stir in shredded cheese.
4. Flatten each biscuit round into a 4″ circle. Place a heaping tablespoon of the meat-cheese filling in the center and pinch edges to seal and create a ball shape.
5. Mix melted butter with extra minced garlic and brush each bomb all over. Roll each bomb in grated parmesan cheese and parsley, pressing gently to adhere toppings.
6. Arrange bombs seam side down on the prepared sheet or air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray or olive oil mist (a YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer is great for even coverage).
7. Bake for 13–15 minutes (or air fry 8–10 minutes), until golden and cooked through. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
