This recipe provides instructions for making Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs, a flavorful and easy-to-eat appetizer or snack. These “bombs” typically consist of small, soft rolls filled with a savory mixture of cooked ground beef, cheese (often cheddar or a blend), and seasonings, all coated in a delicious garlic Parmesan butter. The rolls are baked until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey, creating a burst of flavor in every bite. They are perfect for parties, game days, or a fun family treat. The image shows several small, round, golden-brown rolls filled with a mixture of cooked ground beef and melted cheese. The tops of the rolls are glistening and sprinkled with what appears to be grated Parmesan cheese and possibly some herbs. The text below the image clearly states “GARLIC PARMESAN CHEESEBURGER BOMBS” and lists the initial ingredients for the garlic Parmesan topping.
Based on the image and common recipes for similar “bomb” style appetizers, the recipe likely includes the following components:
For the Cheeseburger Filling:
- Ground beef, cooked and crumbled, providing the meaty base.
- Shredded cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend, for a melty and cheesy filling.
- Onion, finely chopped and sautéed, for added flavor.
- Ketchup and/or mustard, for a classic burger taste.
- Worcestershire sauce, for a savory umami note.
- Salt and pepper, to season the filling.
- Optional seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder.
For the “Bomb” Base:
- Small, soft rolls, such as slider buns, dinner rolls, or even refrigerated biscuit dough cut into smaller rounds.
For the Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- Melted butter, providing richness and a base for the flavorings.
- Minced garlic or garlic powder, for a pungent and savory garlic taste.
- Grated Parmesan cheese, adding a salty and nutty cheesy flavor.
- Dried parsley or other herbs, for a touch of color and herbaceousness.
The preparation involves first cooking the ground beef with chopped onion and draining any excess fat. The cooked beef is then mixed with shredded cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. The small rolls are either kept whole (for sliders/dinner rolls) or formed into individual “bombs” by hollowing them out slightly or wrapping dough around the filling. The beef and cheese mixture is then placed inside or on top of the rolls. Finally, the melted butter is mixed with minced garlic/garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese (and often herbs), and this mixture is brushed over the tops of the rolls before they are baked until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are best served warm, right out of the oven, when the rolls are soft, the cheese is gooey, and the garlic Parmesan topping is fragrant.
The texture is a combination of soft, slightly chewy rolls and a savory, cheesy, and meaty filling, often with a crispy and flavorful garlic Parmesan crust on top.
The flavor is the classic taste of a cheeseburger, enhanced by the savory garlic and salty Parmesan coating.

Ingredients ( अनुमानित based on common recipes and the provided initial ingredients):
For the Cheeseburger Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
For the “Bombs”:
- 12-15 small soft rolls (slider buns or dinner rolls) or 1 can (10-12 count) refrigerated biscuit dough
For the Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Equipment:
- Skillet
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Pastry brush (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
- Make the Cheeseburger Filling: Stir the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into the cooked ground beef mixture. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
- Assemble the “Bombs” using Rolls:
- Sliders/Dinner Rolls: If using whole rolls, you can either slice them in half and place the filling on the bottom half, replacing the top, or you can create a small well in the top of each roll and fill it with the beef mixture.
- Biscuit Dough: If using biscuit dough, separate the dough into individual rounds. Flatten each round slightly. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each round. Bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a ball or “bomb.” Place the sealed “bombs” seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic or garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley (if using).
- Brush with Garlic Parmesan Butter: Brush the garlic Parmesan butter mixture evenly over the tops of the assembled rolls or “bombs.”
- Bake the Bombs: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes (for rolls) or 15-20 minutes (for biscuit dough bombs), or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
