Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: dash of Worcestershire sauce
For the Dough and Topping
- 1 can crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is fully browned and the onion has softened. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the mixture from being greasy.
- Season the Meat: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra depth of flavor and mix well to combine.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough or pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. If using crescent rolls, press the seams together firmly to create a solid sheet of dough without gaps.
- Assemble the Rollups: Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the dough in a flat layer. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the beef layer.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the short edge of the dough, carefully roll it into a log shape. Slice the log into rounds about 1 to 1.5 inches thick, making sure the filling stays inside.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the sliced rounds into a greased muffin tin or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly to allow heat circulation.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rollups for 12 to 15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Garlic Butter Glaze: After baking, mix the melted butter with a pinch of garlic powder and brush this flavorful glaze over the tops of the warm rollups.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the rollups for a fresh touch if desired, then serve them warm to enjoy the melty, savory flavors.
Notes
- Use pizza dough as an alternative to crescent roll dough for a slightly different texture and flavor.
- Make sure to press crescent roll seams well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Adjust garlic powder amount according to your taste preferences.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
