Ingredients You’ll Need
To make garlic butter bacon cheeseburger rollups, you’ll need:
- Ground beef
- Beef bacon, cooked and chopped
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Crescent roll dough
For the garlic butter topping:
- Butter, melted
- Garlic, minced or garlic powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Optional additions:
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Mustard or ketchup for dipping
- Pickles on the side
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, and any optional spices you like. Drain excess grease and set the beef aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, chopped bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If you want larger rollups, gently press two triangles together to form a rectangle.
Spoon a portion of the beef and bacon mixture onto the wide end of each dough piece. Roll the dough tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
Place the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Garlic Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic (or garlic powder), a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Brush the garlic butter generously over each rollup.
Baking Instructions
Bake the rollups for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Remove from the oven and brush with a little more garlic butter if desired. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve garlic butter bacon cheeseburger rollups hot with:
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Burger sauce
- Ranch dressing
- BBQ sauce
They’re perfect as an appetizer, snack, or paired with a simple salad or fries for a full meal.
Tips for the Best Rollups
Let the beef cool slightly before adding it to the dough to prevent tearing. Don’t overfill the dough or the cheese may leak out. Seal the edges well and place seam-side down to keep everything inside while baking.
Variations
For a spicy version, add diced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
For a classic burger taste, mix a little ketchup and mustard into the beef.
For a breakfast twist, add scrambled eggs to the filling.
For a low-carb option, skip the dough and bake the filling in lettuce cups.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the dough soft.
