Perfect as stuffed cheeseburger bombs or cheesy garlic burger bites, they’re a crowd-pleasing appetizer that’s easy to make and sure to impress at any gathering.
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet on medium heat until no longer pink, using a spatula to crumble it; drain any fat.
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the beef; mix in the cheddar cheese until melted and evenly combined.
Flatten each biscuit dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and spoon roughly 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture into the center.
Wrap the dough around the filling, sealing all edges firmly to form a ball, then set them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Combine melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl and brush this mixture generously over the tops of each stuffed biscuit.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each bomb uniformly.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown and are fully cooked.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving and enjoy the delicious cheesy garlic burger bites.
Notes
For extra cheesy goodness, tuck a small cheddar cube inside each bomb before sealing. Try swapping cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella to vary the flavor. Serve these with dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ for more fun. They freeze well, so prepare ahead and reheat in the oven for a quick snack.
