Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
This recipe uses crescent roll dough for a quick and flaky “bun,” but you can also use pizza dough for a thicker, breadier version.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 (2 roll-ups each)
Ingredients
For the Filling:
· 1 lb ground beef (80/20 is ideal)
· 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
· 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
· 1 tsp garlic powder
· 1/2 tsp paprika
· Salt and black pepper to taste
· 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
· 1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped (or use pickle relish)
· 2 tbsp ketchup
· 1 tbsp yellow mustard
For the Assembly:
· 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (or 1 can of crescent roll sheet dough)
· 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
· 1 clove garlic, minced
· 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
For Serving (Optional):
· Ketchup, mustard, or Burger Sauce (mix equal parts ketchup, mayo, and a splash of pickle juice)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Finish the Filling: To the beef mixture, add the shredded cheese, chopped pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese starts to melt from the residual heat. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough: If using standard crescent rolls, unroll the dough and press the perforated seams together to form two large rectangles. If using a sheet dough, simply unroll it.
- Assemble the Rollups: Divide the beef mixture evenly between the two dough rectangles, spreading it into a thin, even layer, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Roll It Up: Starting from the long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a log, jelly-roll style. Pinch the seam and the ends to seal.
- Add Garlic Butter & Bake: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Place the logs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and deep golden brown.
- Slice and Serve: Let the logs cool for 5 minutes before slicing them into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger sauce for dipping.
Pro-Tips & Variations
· Don’t Overfill: The most common mistake is overfilling, which can cause the seams to burst. Use just enough filling to cover the dough in a thin layer.
· Seal Tightly: A good seal is crucial. Pinch the dough firmly along the seam and at the ends to keep the filling inside.
· Customize Your Fillings:
· Bacon Cheeseburger: Add 1/2 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon to the filling.
· Western Style: Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped jalapeños for a kick.
· Mushroom Swiss: Use sautéed mushrooms and shredded Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
· Make-Ahead: You can assemble the rollups, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Brush with garlic butter and bake straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
· Pizza Dough Alternative: For a heartier version, use 1 lb of pizza dough. Roll it out into a large rectangle, add the filling, roll, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
