Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dough and Topping
- 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to infuse it with robust flavor.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and blends evenly with the beef mixture, creating a savory, cheesy filling.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate the dough into individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Assemble Rollups: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, beginning at the wide end and tucking the sides inward to fully enclose the mixture, forming neat rollups.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each assembled rollup onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for even baking.
- Apply Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Brush this flavorful garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rollups to impart a rich, aromatic crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and are cooked through, ensuring a crisp exterior and melty interior.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to set and to avoid burns.
Notes
- You can substitute the garnish butter with garlic-infused olive oil for a lighter topping.
- For an extra cheesy variation, add a sprinkle of mozzarella inside the filling.
- Make sure to fully seal the sides when rolling to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F for food safety.
- Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
