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 and Garlic Butter:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef Filling: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula. Once fully browned, drain excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it cook for another minute to let the spices bloom. 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 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 up from the wide end to the point, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling inside while baking.
- Make the Garlic Butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in minced garlic and let it sit for one minute to infuse the flavor.
- Brush and Bake: Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with garlic butter, reserving some for after baking. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
- Serve and Enjoy: After baking, brush the rollups again with leftover garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or a creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
- These rollups are perfect for repurposing leftover ground beef or turning cheeseburgers into easy-to-share portions.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella, pepper jack, or American cheese slices for varied flavors.
- Make sure to tuck in the sides of the dough when rolling to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch for added flavor.
