Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Small saucepan
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 slices American or cheddar cheese, quartered
- For the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 16 triangles (each can typically has 8 triangles, so you’ll have 2 cans).
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle. Top the beef with a quarter slice of cheese.
- Roll up the crescent dough from the wider end towards the point, fully enclosing the beef and cheese to form a “bomb”. Pinch the seams closed to prevent filling from escaping.
- Arrange the cheeseburger bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the tops of the cheeseburger bombs generously with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- Elevate your bombs by trying different cheeses – think sharp cheddar, smoky provolone, or a touch of spicy pepper jack for an extra kick!
- Want to boost the beefy flavor? Stir in a dash of Worcestershire sauce, some finely diced pickles, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat before cooking.
- To prevent any delicious cheese from escaping during baking, make sure to firmly pinch those crescent roll seams closed. This keeps your bombs intact and gooey inside!
- Planning ahead? You can easily assemble these bombs a few hours before baking. Just cover and refrigerate, then brush with butter and bake when ready.
- For a fantastic meatless alternative, swap the ground beef for seasoned cooked lentils or your favorite plant-based ground meat. Delicious and versatile!
Serving & Storage Suggestions
These irresistible Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are incredibly versatile! Serve them warm as a show-stopping appetizer at your next gathering, or make them the star of a fun and easy family dinner. Don’t forget the classic burger fixings like ketchup, mustard, and a side of dill pickle slices for dipping – they truly complete the experience. For a well-rounded meal, consider pairing these savory bombs with a crisp garden salad, a generous helping of golden french fries, or a refreshing coleslaw. They even make a delightful addition to a comforting bowl of tomato soup on a chilly evening.
