Ingredients
- Ground beef (for the cheeseburger filling)
- Cheddar cheese (shredded, or your favorite cheese)
- Garlic powder (for flavoring the beef mixture)
- Onion powder (adds savory depth to the filling)
- Worcestershire sauce (for a rich, umami flavor)
- Crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
- Parmesan cheese (grated, for the topping)
- Butter (melted, to brush the tops)
- Garlic (minced, for the garlic butter topping)
- Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir well and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough or pizza dough on a flat surface. Cut the dough into squares, large enough to wrap around the beef mixture.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a small spoonful of the cooked beef mixture and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each dough square. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a little dough pocket or “bomb.”
- Bake the Bombs: Place the stuffed dough bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
- Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Topping: While the bombs are baking, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, then stir in grated parmesan cheese.
- Finish the Bombs: Once the bombs are out of the oven, brush the garlic parmesan butter mixture generously over the top of each one.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the bombs with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve immediately while they’re warm and cheesy!
Notes
- Dough Option: You can use crescent roll dough, pizza dough, or biscuit dough, depending on your preference for a flaky or soft texture.
- Custom Filling: Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends or add other burger toppings like pickles, bacon bits, or sautéed onions to the beef filling.
- Make Ahead: These bombs can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to bake. Just brush with the garlic parmesan butter before serving.
