Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Cook beef: Heat olive oil in skillet. Add ground beef, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, drain excess fat.
  • Prepare dough: Roll out dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Layer filling: Sprinkle cheese evenly over dough, then spread beef mixture on top.
  • Roll & slice: Roll dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
  • Arrange & brush: Place rollups on a greased baking sheet. Mix melted butter with minced garlic, then brush over tops.
  • Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve warm with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Cheese options: Try cheddar for sharpness, mozzarella for gooeyness, or pepper jack for spice.
  • Make-ahead: Assemble rollups, refrigerate unbaked up to 24 hours, then bake fresh.
  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze unbaked rollups, bake directly from frozen with extra cook time.
  • Pro tip: Brush rollups again with garlic butter right after baking for maximum flavor.
