Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough & Topping
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the rollups evenly.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasy rollups.
- Season Beef: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked beef. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and combines well with the beef.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean flat surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle, making sure not to overfill for easy rolling.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wide end, tightly roll each triangle towards the pointed end, enclosing the filling completely inside the dough.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rollups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow even baking.
- Brush with Butter: Mix the melted butter with chopped parsley in a small bowl, then brush this garlic butter mixture generously over each rollup for extra flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving so the cheese sets a bit and the rollups can be handled easily.
Notes
- Make sure to not overfill the crescent dough triangles to prevent bursting during baking.
- If you prefer spicier rollups, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- The parsley in the butter brush adds a fresh herbal note but can be omitted if not available.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more intense cheesy flavor.
- These rollups can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture retention.
