Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion (if using) and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Rollups:
- Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll package instructions (usually 375°F or 190°C).
- Unroll the crescent dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pinch the seams together to form a solid sheet of dough.
- Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the dough, leaving about 1/2-inch space on the edges.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the beef mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll and Cut:
- Starting from one edge of the dough, carefully roll it up into a tight log. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal it.
- Slice the roll into 8 equal portions.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Stir to combine.
- Bake the Rollups:
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of each rollup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove the rollups from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, serve with extra ranch or ketchup for dipping.
Tips:
- Make it spicy: Add some jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
- Add some veggies: You can add diced tomatoes or pickles for a more traditional burger flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. You can also reheat them in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
These Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups are a perfect balance of savory beef, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and the irresistible flavor of garlic butter!
