Essential Bomb Ingredients

• Ground beef: The star protein that creates the authentic burger experience. Use 80/20 blend for best flavor without excess grease
• Worcestershire sauce: Adds that classic umami depth that makes burgers taste authentically delicious and restaurant-quality
• Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: Use cheddar for classic flavor or mozzarella for extra cheese stretch factor that kids love
• Refrigerated biscuit dough: Saves time while creating the perfect golden, flaky exterior that wraps everything beautifully
• Butter, melted: Creates that irresistible golden brown color and rich flavor that makes these bombs absolutely irresistible
• Fresh garlic, minced: Fresh provides the best aromatic punch, though garlic powder works in a pinch for convenience
• Grated parmesan cheese: Adds salty, nutty crust that transforms ordinary bombs into something genuinely special
• Basic seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder build essential layers of flavor throughout the filling
• Fresh parsley: Optional garnish that adds beautiful color contrast and fresh herbal brightness

Complete Assembly Process

Creating Flavorful Beef Foundation

Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small, uniform crumbles as it cooks for even texture distribution. Continue cooking until no pink color remains throughout, about five to seven minutes total cooking time. Drain excess fat thoroughly using a colander or paper towels to prevent soggy bombs that lose their appealing texture during baking.

Building Perfect Seasoning Profile

Return the drained beef to the skillet and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine all seasonings thoroughly throughout the meat. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for about five minutes before adding cheese, otherwise the cheese will melt completely instead of creating those desirable pockets of gooey goodness that make each bite special.

Preparing Cohesive Filling Mixture

Once the beef mixture has cooled slightly, add shredded cheese and mix gently but thoroughly until well distributed. If using additional fillings like crispy bacon crumbles or finely chopped pickles, fold them in carefully at this stage. The finished filling should hold together when pressed but not be so compact that it becomes dense or heavy.

Mastering Bomb Assembly Technique

Flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a circle about three inches in diameter, working gently to avoid tearing the delicate dough. Place one to two tablespoons of the prepared filling in the center of each dough circle, being careful not to overfill. Carefully bring the edges up and around the filling, pinching firmly to seal completely without any gaps. Roll gently between your palms to form smooth, even balls.

Arranging For Optimal Baking

Place each filled bomb seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for proper expansion during baking. The seam must be positioned on the bottom to prevent filling from leaking out and creating messy results that affect both appearance and texture.

Creating Signature Garlic Topping

Combine melted butter and minced fresh garlic in a small bowl, whisking together until well blended and aromatic. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of each bomb, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor impact. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over each bomb, making sure every surface gets coated for that distinctive nutty, salty crust.

Baking To Golden Perfection

Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for fifteen to eighteen minutes until the tops turn beautifully golden brown and the dough is completely cooked through without any raw spots. The finished bombs should sound hollow when tapped gently, indicating proper doneness throughout.

Adding Final Finishing Touches

Remove from oven and brush with additional garlic butter mixture if desired for extra richness and shine. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant pop of color and fresh herbal flavor that brightens the rich, savory bombs. Allow to cool for three to five minutes before serving to prevent burning mouths while maintaining optimal serving temperature.
