Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups:

• 1 tsp onion powder (For an extra depth of taste)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (Feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese)
• 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury works great)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (This will be mixed with the garlic for brushing)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (Optional, for garnish)

Equipment

You’ll need a few essential tools to whip up these delicious rollups:

• Mixing bowl
• Non-stick skillet
• Rolling pin (optional but helpful)
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or cooking spray (to prevent sticking)
• Pastry brush

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink.
2. Season: Add minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Rollups

3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Roll out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet.
5. Add the Filling: Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture on the dough. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Roll It Up: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Slice into 1-2 inch pieces.

Step 3: Bake

7. Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Place the rollups cut-side up on the baking sheet.
8. Brush with Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with chopped parsley (if using). Brush this mixture over the top of each rollup.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

10. Cool and Enjoy: Let the rollups sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces!

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

• Avoid Overcooking the Beef: Overcooked ground beef can become dry. Aim for just browned, remember it will cook a bit more in the oven.
• Customizing Flavors: Try using Italian seasoning or taco seasoning for a different taste in your beef mixture.
• More Crunch: For extra texture, add finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture.
• Freezing: To prepare ahead, freeze unbaked rollups. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from frozen.
• Even Thickness: Ensure your dough is even to allow for consistent baking and prevent some rollups from burning while others are still doughy.
• Saucy Dipping: Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger sauce for dipping.
