How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
These bombs are best served straight out of the oven while they’re warm and gooey. Pair them with a side of crunchy veggies or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal. You could even set up a little dipping station with ranch or marinara sauce. The kids will have fun choosing their favorites!
How to Store Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
If you have any leftovers (which is a big “if” in my house), you can store them in an airtight container. Pop them in the fridge, and they’ll be good for about 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for a minute or two, and they’ll be just as tasty!
Tips to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs
- Make It a Family Affair: Let each kid shape their own bombs. It’s messy fun and they love being involved!
- Experiment with Cheese: If you have some mozzarella and cheddar, why not use both? Mixing cheeses can add a nice touch.
- Season to Taste: Feel free to add your family’s favorite spices. A little smoked paprika or Italian seasoning can jazz them up!
Variation
You can switch it up by adding sautéed onions or cooked bacon bits inside. For a healthier spin, try using turkey or chicken instead of ground beef. Just make sure to adjust your cooking time slightly since leaner meats might cook faster.
