It’s a little piece of my childhood, now ready to be shared with you and yours.
Ingredients
For the Burger Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch squares
For the Dough:
- 1 can (10.2 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion and place a cheese square in the center. Shape the beef around the cheese to form a small ball, ensuring the cheese is completely sealed.
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a beef ball in the center of each dough square. Bring the corners of the dough up and pinch together to seal.
- Garlic Butter Time: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic.
- Brush and Bake: Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and parsley (if using).
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
