- Black Pepper: 1 tsp
- Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: 2 cans (8 biscuits each)

Directions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven according to the biscuit dough instructions, usually around 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat. Stir in 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Step 3: Assemble Your Cheeseburger Bombs
Open the cans of biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit into a circle. Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together to seal.
Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs
Place the sealed bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to biscuit dough package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 5: Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the hot bombs right after they come out of the oven.
