Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Dough
- 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
For the Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the beef and onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the dough onto a floured surface. If using crescent dough, pinch the seams together to form a single uniform sheet to prevent filling leakage.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to make rolling easier.
- Spread beef mixture: Evenly distribute the cooked beef and onion mixture over the layer of cheese, ensuring full coverage.
- Roll and slice: Carefully roll the dough into a log starting from the long side. Slice the log into 1.5 to 2 inch thick pieces to create individual rollups.
- Arrange for baking: Place the rollups upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet, giving them space to expand while cooking.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, until the rollups are golden brown and bubbly with melted cheese.
- Make garlic butter: While the rollups bake, melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley to infuse the butter with flavor.
- Brush rollups: Immediately after removing the rollups from the oven, generously brush them with the warm garlic butter to enhance taste and add a glossy finish.
- Serve: Serve the garlic butter cheeseburger rollups warm as a tasty appetizer or snack. Enjoy their irresistible combination of flavors!
Notes
- You can substitute pizza dough with crescent roll dough, making sure to seal all seams tightly.
- For added texture, consider adding diced pickles or ketchup inside before rolling.
- Make sure to drain excess grease from cooked beef to avoid soggy dough.
- These rollups can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if chilled.
- Use fresh parsley for the best garlic butter flavor, but dried parsley can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon).
