Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough & Topping
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Once cooked, drain any excess fat to keep the rollups from becoming greasy.
- Season the Beef: Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion powder to the skillet with the browned beef. Stir thoroughly to evenly combine the flavors, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the seasonings to infuse the meat.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is well incorporated with the beef mixture.
- Prepare Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Assemble Rollups: Spoon a small amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each dough triangle.
- Roll the Triangles: Starting at the wider end, carefully roll up each triangle over the filling. Place the assembled rollups onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with dried parsley and garlic powder, stirring well to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Brush Rollups: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over each rollup to add flavor and promote a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the rollups for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the rollups from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their full flavor and prevent burns.
Notes
- For extra cheesiness, feel free to add more shredded cheese inside the rollups or on top before baking.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Customize the seasoning by adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- These rollups can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time if baking cold rollups.
- To reheat leftovers, bake briefly in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
