Expert Tips

- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to avoid any cheesy explosions in your oven.
- If you want extra crispy bombs, brush the tops with an egg wash instead of butter.
- These bombs freeze well just bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the top before baking if you want steam to escape and avoid sogginess.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef with garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
- Place a spoonful of cooked beef and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the wide end, and place seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Brush each roll with melted butter and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Variations I’ve Tried
I’ve played around with this recipe quite a bit. Sometimes I swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken to lighten things up. Adding a little diced jalapeño brings a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. And for cheese lovers, mixing mozzarella with the Parmesan adds a gooey stretch that’s hard to resist. Want to go vegetarian? Try sautéed mushrooms and spinach instead of meat still tasty!
Mistakes to Avoid
- Overfilling the dough pockets. It’s tempting to stuff them full, but too much filling can cause the dough to burst open.
- Skipping the butter or egg wash on top. This step gives the bombs that irresistible golden crust.
- Not cooking the beef mixture thoroughly before stuffing. Raw beef inside dough is a no-go.
- Using dough that’s too thick or too thin. Too thick and it won’t cook evenly; too thin and it might tear easily.
Leftovers and Storage
Leftover cheeseburger bombs? Lucky you! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Microwaving works in a pinch but expect a softer crust. These also make great lunchbox treats or quick snacks.
These garlic Parmesan cheeseburger bombs pack a flavorful punch and a decent amount of protein, making them a satisfying treat. Just remember, they’re a bit indulgent, so enjoy them as part of a balanced diet!
