✨ Ingredients:
For the filling:
1 pound ground beef
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled 🥓
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the rollups:
1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
For the garlic butter topping:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Optional:
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish 🌿
👩‍🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the Bacon Cheeseburger Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
With the heat lowered, stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar until melted and smooth. Add the crumbled bacon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.
Set the filling aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
- Roll Out the Dough
Unroll your sheet of refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough) onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out into a large rectangle—about 10 by 14 inches. If using crescent dough, press the seams together to form a smooth surface. - Spread the Filling and Roll It Up
Spoon the slightly cooled cheeseburger mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, like you’re making cinnamon rolls.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds. You should get about 10 to 12 individual rollups.
- Mix the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and minced garlic. This garlicky mixture is what makes the tops of the rollups golden and flavorful. 🧄✨ - Bake the Rollups
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Arrange the rollups on the prepared sheet, spacing them a little apart. Using a pastry brush (or spoon), generously brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. The smell alone will have everyone lining up in the kitchen.
- Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley if you want a little color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy! These are great on their own, or you can dip them in ketchup, ranch, or your favorite burger sauce for the full cheeseburger experience.
