Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (about 13.8 oz / 390g)
  • 1 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  4. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook an additional minute. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. Fold the shredded cheddar into the warm beef mixture so it starts to melt but doesn’t become too liquidy.
  6. In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  8. Slice the dough into 12 equal squares (about 3×3 inches / 7.5×7.5 cm). Place a generous spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the cheeseburger filling in the center of each square.
  9. Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle or pouch. Pinch the edges tightly to seal, making sure no filling escapes.
  10. Brush each sealed bomb generously with melted butter, then roll or press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until fully coated.
  11. Place the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If dough feels sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. Use parchment paper to avoid soggy bottoms. Drain excess fat from beef to prevent greasiness. Let filling cool slightly before stuffing dough to avoid soggy dough. Check bombs at 14 minutes if oven runs hot to prevent burning. Butter brush before coating is essential for crispy crust. Can be frozen and reheated in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
