Garlic Butter Beef Rollups (Printer-Friendly)

Savory ground beef and cheddar wrapped in flaky dough, brushed with garlic butter for a golden, aromatic finish.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meat and Aromatics

01 - 1 lb ground beef (lean)
02 - ½ tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
05 - ½ tsp onion powder
06 - ½ cup diced yellow onion (about 75 g)

→ Cheese

07 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 113 g)

→ Dough

08 - 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz / 226 g)

→ Topping

09 - 2 tbsp melted butter
10 - 1 tsp garlic powder

→ Garnish

11 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set your oven to 375°F and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while sautéing diced onions until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain excess fat and let the mixture cool slightly.
03 - When the beef mixture is warm but not hot, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed to preserve texture.
04 - Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles to form individual pockets for filling.
05 - Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the beef-cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Roll from the wide base toward the pointed tip, sealing the edges and placing seam-side down on the baking tray.
06 - Combine melted butter with garlic powder and brush generously over each rollup to create a golden and flavorful crust.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ketchup or ranch.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Cooling the beef mixture before adding cheese prevents premature melting and maintains filling texture.
02 - Baking until golden ensures a crisp exterior with a tender interior.
03 - These rollups freeze well before baking and can be baked directly from frozen with additional cooking time.
04 - Reheat leftovers in the oven to preserve crispness or use a microwave for convenience.
