Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the Dough

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough

For the Garlic Butter

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then drain any excess grease to keep the mixture moist but not greasy.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface. If using crescent roll dough, pinch the seams together to create a single sheet to ensure rollups hold together well during baking.
  3. Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses all over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the roll.
  4. Spread the Beef Mixture: Distribute the cooked ground beef and onion mixture evenly over the cheese layer for balanced flavor in every bite.
  5. Roll and Slice: Starting from the longer side, carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Slice the log into 1.5 to 2 inch pieces to create individual rollups.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sliced rollups cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the rollups in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Make Garlic Butter: While the rollups bake, melt the butter in a small pan or microwave, then stir in the minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley to create a fragrant garlic butter sauce.
  9. Brush and Serve: Immediately upon removing the rollups from the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter for added flavor and shine.
  10. Enjoy Warm: Serve the rollups warm as a delicious snack, appetizer, or meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute pizza dough with crescent roll dough, but make sure seams are pinched to avoid leaks.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture if desired.
  • These rollups reheat well in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use fresh parsley for the best flavor in the garlic butter, but dried parsley can be used as a substitute.
  • Leftover rollups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
