Method
- Start by prepping everything—finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, half of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper; mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions—about golf ball-sized.
- Take one portion and flatten it into a disc; place a piece of cheddar in the center and wrap the meat around the cheese, sealing it completely.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the bombs for about 2 minutes per side until they develop a nice crust.
- Transfer the bombs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded for better flavor. Don't skip seasoning the meat mixture—it’s essential for flavor. Let the bombs rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute. You can prep the bombs a day in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to bake. For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the meat mixture.
