Ingredients
  

Meat and Seasoning

  • 450 g ground beef
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • to taste Garlic powder
  • to taste Onion powder
  • 15 ml Worcestershire sauce

Cheese and Add-ins

  • 120 g shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: diced crispy bacon
  • Optional: chopped pickles
  • Optional: caramelized onions

Dough and Topping

  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough, cut into 8–12 rounds flattened to 10 cm diameter
  • 28 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 g minced garlic or garlic powder
  • 15 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  • Season the cooked beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Once the beef mixture is cooled, fold in the shredded cheese and any optional add-ins such as bacon, pickles, or caramelized onions. Mix until the filling is evenly combined.

Assembly

  • Flatten each piece of dough into a 10 cm circle. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the cooled beef and cheese mixture in the center of each round.
  • Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball.
  • Position the filled dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing evenly.
  • Combine melted butter and minced garlic, then generously brush over the tops. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
  • As soon as they are removed from the oven, brush with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve these tasty bombs warm for the best flavor and texture. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup and mustard for a classic burger experience. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
