Essential Ingredients

Puff Pastry Sheets: These are the secret to that flaky outside—thaw them before use for best results.
Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan adds an authentic touch that store-bought simply can’t match.
Garlic Powder: A must-have for that rich garlic flavor; don’t skimp on it!
Onion Powder: This enhances the overall flavor profile; choose finely ground powder for even distribution.
Ketchup and Mustard: Classic condiments add moisture and tanginess—perfect complements to the beefy filling.
Egg Wash: A mixture of egg and water helps achieve that beautiful golden color on the pastry.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package instructions while you prepare the beef filling.
Cook the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked—about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add Seasonings and Cheese: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the parmesan cheese until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Bombs: On a floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet. Cut them into squares; place about two tablespoons of beef mixture in the center of each square.
Seal the Bombs: Fold over each pastry square to create triangles or rectangles. Pinch edges tightly to prevent leaking during baking; brush tops with egg wash.
Bake until Golden Brown: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy hot!
And there you have it! Your Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger bombs are now ready to impress everyone around you—even if you eat them all by yourself (no judgment here).
