Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough sheets onto a clean surface. If using regular crescent rolls, press the seams together to form a solid rectangle. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares (you’ll have 16 squares total).
- Place a spoonful of the cooked beef mixture in the center of each crescent roll square. Top with a quarter slice of cheese.
- Gather the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch the seams tightly to seal, forming a ball or “bomb”. Ensure there are no gaps for the cheese to escape.
- Place the sealed cheeseburger bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic and the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the tops of the cheeseburger bombs generously with the garlic Parmesan butter mixture.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
