Ingredients Notes

The magic of Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs lies in the combination of a few simple, everyday ingredients. Each plays a crucial role in creating the perfect balance of textures and flavors.
- Ground beef forms the heart of this recipe. You’ll want to use lean ground beef to avoid excess grease. Cooked to perfection with just the right seasonings, it provides that classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Cheese cubes are the surprise inside! I recommend sharp cheddar or mozzarella for their creamy, melty goodness, but feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese.
- Crescent roll dough serves as the perfect wrap, baking up golden and flaky. It’s convenient and creates a delightful contrast to the juicy beef and gooey cheese.
- Garlic butter topping is what sets these apart. A mix of melted butter, minced garlic, and grated parmesan brushed over the tops before baking adds a punch of flavor and irresistible aroma.
- Optional add-ins like diced onions, pickles, or even bacon bits can be mixed into the beef filling for extra texture and flavor.
For this recipe, no special equipment is required—just a skillet for cooking the beef, a baking sheet, and a small brush for applying the garlic butter.
How to Make This Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs Recipe

Creating these delicious Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a batch ready to enjoy in no time.
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. While the oven heats, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season it with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you love, like onion powder or paprika. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
Next, unroll your crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the cooked beef onto the widest part of each triangle, then add a cheese cube on top of the meat. Carefully fold the dough around the filling, ensuring it’s fully sealed to prevent leaks.
Arrange the wrapped bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and grated parmesan. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each bomb.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and flaky. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm when the cheese is perfectly gooey.
Storage Options
If you have leftovers (though that’s rare!), Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are easy to store and reheat.
- Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the bombs in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months.
To reheat, use a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes if refrigerated or 15-20 minutes if frozen. This ensures they stay crispy on the outside while warming through.
Variations and Substitutions
This recipe is incredibly versatile, and there’s no shortage of ways to customize it to your liking.
- Swap the ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- Add a kick by mixing diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper into the beef filling.
- Experiment with different cheeses. Pepper jack, gouda, or even brie would all make delicious substitutions.
- Sprinkle a bit of sesame or poppy seeds over the top before baking to mimic a traditional burger bun.
- Make them mini-sized by using smaller pieces of dough and filling for bite-sized snacks, perfect for parties.
The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative with whatever you have on hand.
Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for busy nights, entertaining, or satisfying a craving for something cheesy and delicious. Once you’ve tried them, they’ll quickly become a staple in your recipe rotation. Give them a try—you won’t regret it!
