Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated crescent dough or pizza dough
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the rollups perfectly golden and puffed.
- Cook the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat to keep it from being greasy.
- Season the beef: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce over the beef; stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Add cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese while the beef is still warm, mixing until the cheese melts and integrates completely.
- Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent or pizza dough. If using crescent dough, press any seams together so it doesn’t separate during baking.
- Cut the dough: Slice the dough into squares or rectangles sized appropriately to hold a spoonful of the beef and cheese filling.
- Fill the dough: Place a spoonful of the beef-cheese mixture onto the center of each dough piece.
- Roll and seal: Roll each filled dough piece tightly and pinch the edges securely to seal the filling inside; place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley or green onions to create a flavorful topping.
- Brush rollups: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each rolled-up dough to add flavor and help browning.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and puff up nicely.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces for an irresistible snack or appetizer.
Notes
- You can substitute pizza dough with crescent dough; just ensure seams are pressed firmly to avoid leaks.
- Optional seasonings like onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce enhance flavor but can be omitted to suit preferences.
- For extra crispiness, brush additional garlic butter halfway through baking.
- These rollups pair well with ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
