Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything required to make these garlicky, cheesy beef rollups:
For the Filling:
-
1 lb ground beef
-
½ medium onion, finely chopped
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tbsp ketchup (optional, for added flavor)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
-
1 can (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
How to Make Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is browned and onions are soft, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, a touch of ketchup, and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Preheat and Prep the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roll out the crescent dough or pizza dough into a large rectangle. If using crescent rolls, press the perforations together to seal.
Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles.
Step 3: Assemble the Rollups
Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center of each dough piece. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Fold the dough over the filling and roll tightly, pinching the seams to seal the edges. Place each rollup seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parsley (if using).
Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Remove from oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter for an extra kick of flavor. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
