Ingredients Notes

The magic of these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs lies in the balance of simple, flavorful ingredients that come together to create a perfect bite.
The base of these bombs is refrigerated crescent roll dough. It’s soft, flaky, and incredibly convenient. If you prefer, you can use biscuit dough or even pizza dough for a different texture.
For the filling, lean ground beef is ideal. It cooks quickly and pairs beautifully with the other ingredients. You can also swap it for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a healthier or vegetarian version.
Cheddar cheese is the star of the filling, giving these bombs their signature gooey center. Sharp cheddar works best for flavor, but you can experiment with mozzarella, pepper jack, or even a mix of cheeses.
To elevate the flavor, garlic butter made with minced garlic, butter, and a sprinkle of parsley is brushed over the bombs before baking. This step adds a golden finish and irresistible aroma.
For toppings, a dusting of grated parmesan cheese gives these bombs an extra savory kick and pairs beautifully with the garlic butter.
You’ll also need a baking sheet and a pastry brush to achieve the perfect finish.
How To Make These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Making these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs is a breeze! Here’s how to create these irresistible bites step by step.
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps ensure the bombs don’t stick and makes cleanup easier.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season it with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like, such as smoked paprika or onion powder. Once cooked, drain any excess grease and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Take a small spoonful of the cooked beef and place it in the center of each triangle. Top with a small cube or sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used.
Melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic and parsley. Use a pastry brush to generously coat each bomb with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of each one for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. The cheese should be melted and the dough beautifully golden.
Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy them warm for the best experience.
Storage Options
These Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs store beautifully, making them a great make-ahead option for busy days.
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To freeze, place the fully baked and cooled bombs on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheat refrigerated bombs in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. For frozen bombs, bake at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can easily switch things up to suit your preferences.
- Add some crispy bacon bits to the filling for an extra layer of smoky flavor.
- Swap the cheddar for a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and provolone for an Italian twist.
- Make them spicy by adding a few slices of jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Use ground turkey or plant-based meat crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Sneak in some finely chopped onions, peppers, or mushrooms to boost the nutrition and flavor.
No matter how you customize them, these Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. With their savory, cheesy filling and golden, garlicky crust, they’re impossible to resist!
