- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 2 cans (8 biscuits each)
- Butter: 2 tbsp, melted
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup, grated

Directions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
First, gather all your ingredients. Make sure the ground beef is at room temperature for easy cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and remove from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the beef.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the cans of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Take one biscuit and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Make sure it’s tight.
Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs
Place the stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each bomb with the melted butter before baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

While the bombs are baking, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl. After you take the bombs out of the oven, sprinkle the Parmesan garlic topping over them while they are still warm.
