Choosing the Right Meat for Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Best Ground Beef for Cheeseburger Bombs

For the juiciest cheeseburger bombs, an 80/20 ground beef blend provides the perfect balance of flavor and texture. The 20% fat content ensures your bombs stay moist throughout cooking while delivering that rich, classic burger taste.

Buying Tips

Look for ground beef with a bright red color and minimal liquid in the package. For an elevated flavor profile, ask your butcher for freshly ground chuck or have them create a custom blend with sirloin for extra depth.

Substitutions

While beef is traditional, you can substitute ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option. If using poultry, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mixture to maintain moisture since these leaner meats tend to dry out more easily.

Step-by-Step Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Cooking Instructions

Pre-Cooking Cheeseburger Bombs Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Place the meat-cheese ball in the center of a flattened biscuit.
4. Carefully bring the edges of the biscuit up and around the meat, pinching firmly to seal.
5. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing bombs about 2 inches apart.
6. Brush each bomb with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
7. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the tops.
8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
