Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to get rolling:

• 1 lb ground beef – brings the classic burger flavor
• 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped – adds smoky, crispy goodness
• 1/4 cup garlic butter – infuses every bite with rich garlic flavor
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – for that essential cheesy melt
• 1 package crescent roll dough – the golden, flaky wrap that holds it all together
• Salt & pepper – to season the beef

How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat.
3. Prepare the Filling
   Add the chopped bacon and garlic butter to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir until everything is combined, and the garlic butter has melted into the beef.
4. Roll and Assemble
   Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each crescent triangle, then roll it up, tucking in the edges to keep the filling inside.
5. Add the Cheese
   Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each rollup, pressing lightly so it sticks. As they bake, the cheese will melt beautifully over the rolls.
6. Bake to Perfection
   Place the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Serve and Enjoy
   Let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving. These are delicious on their own or with a side of ketchup, mustard, or ranch for dipping!

Tips and Variations

• Cheese Swaps: While cheddar is classic, feel free to use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Swiss for a different flavor.
• Add Some Heat: Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika, onion powder, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce in the beef for extra depth.
• Dough Options: Crescent dough is quick and easy, but puff pastry or pizza dough also works. Just adjust the baking time if needed.
• Bacon Texture: For a crispier texture, cook the bacon until it’s just crunchy before adding it to the filling.

FAQs

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare the beef and bacon filling in advance, refrigerate, and assemble with the dough when ready to bake.

Can I use a different type of dough?
Yes! Puff pastry or pizza dough works well; just bake a bit longer if needed for a golden crust.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore crispness.

What’s the best dipping sauce for these?
Ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce are classics! For something different, try sriracha mayo or a spicy garlic aioli.

Can I make a vegetarian version?
You bet! Swap the beef for a meatless alternative and skip the bacon, or add extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers for a tasty, veggie-friendly twist.
