3. How to Make Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, heat Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add diced onions and minced garlic; sauté until translucent. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, cook until browned, and then stir in shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese. Mix well and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Roll the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture into the center of each square.

Step 3: Shape the Bombs

Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal completely, forming a ball or pouch. Ensure they are well sealed to prevent leakage during baking.

Step 4: Bake the Cheeseburger Bombs

Arrange the shaped bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with a little bit of olive oil for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Storage Tips for Cheeseburger Bombs

Leftover burger bombs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To retain their crispy exterior, reheat in an air fryer or oven until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked bombs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to a month.
