Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

Yes, you can substitute ground turkey for ground beef, but ensure it's not too lean, or it might be dry. You may need to add a little oil for moisture.

How do I know when the garlic Parmesan cheeseburger bites are fully cooked?

The biscuits should be golden brown, and the internal temperature of the ground beef should reach 160°F (71°C). You can check with a meat thermometer.

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can mix the seasoned ground beef and the cheese blend a day in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

What kind of dipping sauces go well with these cheeseburger bites?

Classic options like ketchup and mustard are great. For something a little different, try a spicy aioli, ranch dressing, or a smoky BBQ sauce to complement the savory flavors.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined.
In a separate small bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Open the biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a small amount of the seasoned ground beef mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a spoonful of the cheese mixture.
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling to form a ball, pinching the seams to seal.
Place each sealed biscuit ball into the prepared muffin tin.
In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic.
Brush the tops of the biscuit bites generously with the garlic butter.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

You can customize the cheese blend to your liking.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
These bites are great for meal prepping; simply reheat in the oven or microwave.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or a spicy aioli.
