Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.

2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and ketchup. Cook for 1 more minute.

4. Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. Let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Bombs

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Open the biscuit can and separate the dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.

3. Place 1 tbsp of the beef mixture in the center of each biscuit, then add 1 cube of mozzarella cheese on top.

4. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

5. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.

Step 3: Bake

1. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Parmesan Glaze

1. While the bombs bake, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and garlic powder in a small bowl.

2. Once the bombs are out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic-Parmesan glaze.

Step 5: Serve

• Serve warm with extra ketchup, ranch, or marinara sauce for dipping!
