Craving a quick and easy snack or appetizer that packs a punch of flavor? These Garlic Cheeseburger Bites are made with only 3 ingredients and are perfect for any occasion! They’re simple to prepare, loaded with cheesy goodness, and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (dry mix only, don’t follow the box directions)
1 pound ground beef (any lean-to-fat ratio will work)
16 ounces shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
1. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the Red Lobster biscuit mix with 1 pound of ground beef. This may take some effort as the dough will be thick. Once combined, fold in the shredded cheese until evenly mixed.
2. Form the Bites:
Roll the mixture into 1 1/2- to 2-inch balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
3. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Add Garlic Butter (Optional but Delicious):
If you want an extra burst of flavor, use the garlic butter packet from the Red Lobster mix. Combine it with melted butter and brush it over the bites as soon as they come out of the oven.
Pro Tips
Serve these bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce! Ranch, barbecue, or a Big Mac-style sauce (recipe below) are all excellent options.
