How to Make (Step-by-Step Instructions)
Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, ketchup, and mustard. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 3: Fill with Beef and Cheese
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough piece. Add shredded cheese on top.
Step 4: Seal the Bombs
Carefully bring the edges of the dough together and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball shape.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Place the sealed balls seam-side down on a lined baking tray. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Add Garlic Parmesan Topping
Mix melted butter with garlic, parmesan, and parsley. Brush generously over the hot cheeseburger bombs right after baking.
