Garlic Butter Beef Rollups (Print Format)

Flaky crescent roll dough filled with seasoned ground beef and cheese, topped with savory garlic butter and baked until golden.

# Ingredients:

→ Savory beef filling

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - ½ teaspoon salt
03 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
04 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
06 - ½ cup yellow onion, diced
07 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

→ Dough and garlic butter topping

08 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
09 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
10 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder for the butter
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your ground beef and diced onions together until the beef is nicely browned and the onions are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
03 - Once your beef mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix everything together well. This prevents the cheese from melting too early and keeps everything nice and cohesive.
04 - Unroll your crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into 8 individual triangles. These will be the perfect little pockets for your delicious beef filling.
05 - Spoon a heaping tablespoon of your beef and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the point, encasing all that tasty filling. Place them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
06 - Mix your melted butter with the garlic powder, then brush this aromatic mixture generously over the tops of all your rollups. This creates that beautiful golden color and amazing garlic flavor.
07 - Bake for 12-15 minutes until they're beautifully golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you want that fresh pop of color and flavor.
08 - Serve them warm with ketchup, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce. These are perfect for parties, game day, or just a fun family dinner!

# Tips:

01 - Make sure to let the beef mixture cool slightly before adding the cheese - this prevents the cheese from melting prematurely and keeps your filling perfect.
02 - These rollups are perfect for parties, game day snacks, or even a fun weeknight dinner that kids absolutely love.
03 - You can prep these ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking - just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they're cold.
04 - Try different cheese combinations like Monterey Jack, pepper jack for heat, or even cream cheese mixed in for extra creaminess.
05 - Leftover rollups reheat beautifully in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or quickly in the microwave.
