Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred for juiciness)
- 2–3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dough
- 1 package Pillsbury crescent rolls or equivalent pizza dough (enough for 8–12 bombs)
Optional
- Olive oil or melted butter, for brushing tops
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. When mostly cooked, add minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until fully done and fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan and shredded mozzarella while still warm to slightly melt the cheese.
- Prepare the Dough: Lay out the crescent roll dough or pizza dough on a clean surface. Separate into evenly sized sections or squares enough to fully wrap the filling and seal securely.
- Assemble the Bombs: Spoon a generous amount of cheeseburger filling onto each dough piece. Fold edges over the filling and pinch or crimp tightly to seal completely, preventing cheese from leaking during baking.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place bombs on a lined baking sheet. Optionally brush tops with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispness. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
Notes
- Use a small scoop for even filling distribution.
- Pinch dough edges tightly to prevent leaks.
- Let the filling rest slightly before filling dough to avoid sogginess.
- Transfer bombs to a cooling rack after baking for a crispier bottom crust.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations for added depth.
