Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 sheet pizza dough or 8 crescent rolls
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: diced onions, pickles, or cooked bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Allow beef to cool slightly, then mix in shredded cheddar cheese (and optional add-ins like onions or bacon).
- Roll out pizza dough or separate crescent rolls into individual triangles or squares.
- Place a spoonful of beef-cheese mixture in the center of each dough piece.
- Fold dough over the filling and pinch edges to seal completely, forming a small ball.
- Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush over each dough ball.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is slightly oozing.
- Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Bombs
- Sealing the dough: Pinch tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
- Cheese variety: Mix cheddar with mozzarella for extra stretchiness.
- Make ahead: Assemble bombs and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
- Reheating: Microwave or bake leftover bombs for 5–7 minutes to warm and re-melt cheese.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or aioli for dipping.
- Pair with fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh salad.
- Great for lunchboxes or picnics — no utensils needed.
Storage & Freezing
- Store baked bombs in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days.
- Freeze unbaked bombs individually on a sheet, then store in freezer bags for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5–10 minutes to baking time.
