Ingredients
Units
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef Filling: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain any excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it cook for another minute so the spices can bloom in the heat. Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and gooey.
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles on a lightly floured surface or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Fill and Roll: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture onto the wider end of each crescent dough triangle. Gently roll each one up from the wide end to the point, tucking in the sides slightly so the filling doesn’t escape while baking.
- Make the Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the minced garlic and let it sit for a minute to infuse the flavor.
- Brush and Bake: Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter, saving a little for after baking. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, brush them again with any leftover garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or a creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
- These rollups are an excellent way to repurpose leftover ground beef or turn cheeseburgers into an easy-to-share dish for a crowd.
- You can swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or American cheese slices for different flavors.
- Be sure to tuck the sides of the dough slightly when rolling to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Use fresh minced garlic for the garlic butter for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
- Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
