how to make Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups

Follow the steps below. Work with warm dough and hot beef so the rollups seal well. Use an egg wash for shine and a golden crust.

Ingredients :

1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
1/4 cup garlic butter
1 package of crescent roll dough
1 egg (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: pickles, ketchup, mustard, onions

Directions :

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic butter until melted and combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture along with some shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll them up, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go.
Place the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Beat the egg and brush it over the rollups for shine.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

tips to make Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups

Use warm but not hot beef when you add it to the dough to avoid melting the dough too soon.
Drain the beef well so the dough does not get soggy.
Brush egg wash lightly for an even, shiny crust.
For a faster prep, shred cheese while the beef cooks.
Serve with a sweet finish like a Reese’s peanut butter cup ice cream cake for a guest-friendly menu.

variation (if any)

Make them spicy: add a little hot sauce or chopped jalapeño to the beef.
Make them cheesy: use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella.
Make mini sliders: cut crescent dough into smaller pieces and make bite-size rollups.

FAQs

Q: Can I use turkey or chicken instead of beef?
A: Yes. Use ground turkey or chicken. Cook the meat the same way and season well.

Q: Can I make these ahead and bake later?
A: Yes. Assemble and keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours before baking. For longer storage, freeze unbaked rollups on a sheet, then move to a bag.

Q: Do I have to use crescent roll dough?
A: Crescent dough is easy and gives a flaky crust. You can use puff pastry or pizza dough, but baking time may change.

Q: Can I add vegetables inside?
A: Yes. Small amounts of diced onions, peppers, or mushrooms work well if they are cooked and drained first.
