Ingredients
    For the Beef Filling
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 6 cheddar cheese slices, cut into small squares (or any cheese you prefer)
  • For the Dough / Outer Layer
  • 12 pieces 12 pieces readymade dinner roll dough (thawed if frozen) (Using store-bought biscuit dough or dinner roll dough for convenience)
  • For the Garlic Parmesan Butter
  • 3 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of black pepper
Instructions
    Prepare the Beef Filling
  1. 1
    Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks. Once the beef begins to brown, add the diced onions and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and chili flakes. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to create a creamy, savory cheeseburger-style filling. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Dough
  3. 2
    Place each piece of dinner roll dough on a clean surface. Gently flatten it with your fingers or a rolling pin to form a small circle, roughly palm-sized. Make sure the edges stay slightly thicker to prevent tearing when filled.
  4. Stuff the Cheeseburger Bombs
  5. 3
    Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Add two or three squares of cheese on top. Carefully bring the edges together, pinch tightly, and form a smooth ball. Ensure the seam is sealed so the filling doesn’t leak during baking.
  6. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter
  7. 4
    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is combined.
  8. Brush and Bake
  9. 5
    Preheat oven to 190°C. Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Generously brush each ball with garlic parmesan butter. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until puffed, golden, and lightly crisp.
  10. Final Brush & Rest
  11. 6
    Once out of the oven, brush the hot cheeseburger bombs with a fresh layer of garlic parmesan butter for extra shine and flavor. Let them cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
