Ingredients

For the Rollups:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for extra tang)

For the Garlic Butter:

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef Mixture

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 375°F).
2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
3. Drain excess grease, then add diced onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes until the onion is soft.
5. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then mix in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pizza or crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12×10-inch rectangle.
3. If using crescent dough, pinch seams together to form a solid sheet.
4. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using) over the dough.

Step 3: Assemble the Rollups

1. Evenly spread the beef mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
2. Carefully roll the dough from the longer side into a tight log.
3. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds (should make about 10–12 rollups).
4. Place rollups cut-side down on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and salt.
2. Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
2. If desired, brush with extra garlic butter while they’re still warm.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

• Let the rollups cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
• Garnish with extra parsley or grated Parmesan for added flavor.

Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Rollups

✅ Crispier Bacon? – Cook bacon until it’s extra crispy before crumbling to ensure texture in every bite. ✅ Prevent Soggy Dough – Let the beef mixture cool before spreading onto the dough. ✅ Extra Cheese? – Sprinkle additional cheese on top of the rollups before baking. ✅ Make-Ahead Option – Assemble the rollups ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and bake when ready. ✅ Reheating Instructions – Warm leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to keep them crispy.

Variations & Customizations

👨‍🍳 Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat. 🧀 Different Cheeses: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for a unique twist. 🥩 Meat Swap: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. 🥓 Double Bacon: Instead of crumbling the bacon, lay full strips inside the rollups.
