Instructions
Step 1: Brown the ground beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Step 2: Add seasonings and condiments
Stir in 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 1–2 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Step 3: Add bacon and cheese
Turn off the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese. Let the cheese begin to melt into the warm beef mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: Prepare the dough
Unroll the crescent dough (or pizza dough) onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press or roll into a rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 5: Add the filling
Spoon the beef, bacon, and cheese mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Press down lightly to help it stay in place.
Step 6: Roll and slice
Carefully roll up the dough from one long edge to the other, like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam to seal. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1 to 1½ inch thick rounds.
Step 7: Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the rollups cut side up, spaced slightly apart.
Step 8: Make garlic butter
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves. Brush the tops of the rollups with the garlic butter.
Step 9: Bake to golden perfection
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Step 10: Serve and dip
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces. These rollups are great with ketchup, ranch, burger sauce, or even a spicy aioli.
Notes
-
Let the beef filling cool slightly before adding to the dough to avoid tearing.
-
Crescent dough gives a lighter, flakier roll; pizza dough gives a chewier, bready texture.
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before baking.
-
Don’t overfill—the rollups can burst open during baking.
-
Bake until golden and bubbling for best results. Undercooked dough can be gummy.
