Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dough and Topping
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rollups.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep the filling from being greasy.
- Season Beef: Add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion powder to the browned beef. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated and the cheese begins to melt slightly from the warmth of the beef.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Fill Dough Triangles: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle, ensuring enough filling for flavor but leaving room to roll.
- Roll Them Up: Starting at the wider end, roll up each triangle enclosing the filling completely and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Make Garlic Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, dried parsley, and garlic powder to create a flavorful glaze.
- Brush Rollups: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the surface of each rollup to add moisture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set and prevent burns.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- Make sure to drain excess fat from beef to avoid soggy dough.
- Brush the garlic butter glaze generously for the best flavor and golden crust.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your preferred dipping sauce for added taste.
- To make ahead, prepare rollups and refrigerate unbaked, then bake fresh before serving.
