Ingredients

Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
Assembly
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté the Beef Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it starts to brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is softened and the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in ketchup and mustard. Cook for another 2 minutes until combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent or pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, pinch any seams together to create a single sheet.
- Add the Filling: Evenly spread the cooled beef mixture over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Roll and Slice: Starting at one long side, roll up the dough tightly to form a log. Pinch the ends to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 10-12 even pieces.
- Bake: Arrange the rollups, spiral side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: While the rollups bake, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley together. As soon as the rollups come out of the oven, generously brush them with the garlic butter.
- Serve: Let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Customize the filling by adding diced pickles, cooked bacon, or jalapeños for extra zing.
- Use pizza dough for a chewier texture, or crescent roll dough for a flakier bite.
- For mini rollups, cut the dough log into smaller pieces and reduce baking time slightly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
- Brush with extra garlic butter for a richer flavor!
