- 1 lb ground beef - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1 package crescent roll dough The heart of this recipe is the ground beef. I love using lean beef for a tasty bite. The shredded cheddar cheese adds a creamy texture and rich flavor. Crescent roll dough acts as the perfect wrap, making each roll-up easy to eat. - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish) Worcestershire sauce brings out the umami in the beef. Minced garlic gives a lovely aroma and taste. Fresh parsley not only looks pretty but also adds a fresh touch when serving. - Skillet - Baking sheet - Parchment paper A skillet is essential for cooking the beef. I recommend using a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking. {{ingredient_image_1}} - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). - In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef with 1/4 cup of diced onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Brown the beef for about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. - Next, stir in 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well and let it cool for a few minutes. - Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the beef mixture. Stir until combined, and the cheese melts slightly. - Unroll 1 package of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles, following the package instructions. - Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll it up tightly, then place each roll seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. - In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter with a pinch of garlic powder if desired. Brush this garlic butter over the top of each roll-up. - Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch for them to turn golden brown. Enjoy the aroma of baked cheeseburgers filling your kitchen! To avoid soggy bottoms, use parchment paper. This helps the roll-ups stay crisp. Make sure to drain excess fat from the beef. This keeps the rolls from getting too greasy. For even cooking, space out the roll-ups on the baking sheet. If they are too close, they may not cook well. You can add spices or herbs for more taste. Try a pinch of paprika or even some dried oregano. Fresh herbs, like thyme or basil, can also work well. You can switch out the cheddar cheese for other types. Pepper jack adds a nice kick, while mozzarella gives a mild flavor. For dips, consider ranch or BBQ sauce. Both enhance the cheeseburger flavor. You can also serve them with a fresh salad or sweet potato fries. For plating, stack the roll-ups in a tower. This makes the dish look more appealing and fun. Pro Tips Use Lean Beef: Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in your roll-ups and maintain a cleaner flavor. Customize the Cheese: Feel free to mix different types of cheese, like pepper jack or mozzarella, for a unique twist on the classic cheeseburger flavor. Extra Flavor in the Dough: Sprinkle garlic powder or Italian seasoning over the crescent roll dough before rolling for added flavor. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Pair the roll-ups with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or a creamy ranch for an extra burst of flavor. {{image_2}} You can switch out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. These meats offer a leaner option without losing flavor. Just cook them the same way as the beef. If you want vegetarian roll-ups, try using meat substitutes like crumbled tempeh or lentils. These can add a hearty taste and texture. To make spicy cheeseburger roll-ups, add jalapeños into the beef mix. This gives a nice kick that many love. Another fun twist is BBQ cheeseburger roll-ups. Just mix BBQ sauce into the beef for a sweet and tangy flavor. If you want a different texture, use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls. Puff pastry puffs up nicely and gives a flaky bite. For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free crescent roll dough. This way, everyone can enjoy these tasty treats. To store leftovers, place the roll-ups in an airtight container. This will keep them fresh. You can also wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They stay good in the fridge for up to three days. For reheating, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet. Cover them with foil to keep them moist. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy and tasty. To freeze the roll-ups, let them cool completely first. Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them for 1-2 hours until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They stay fresh for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat, take them out of the freezer. Thaw them in the fridge overnight. To reheat, use the oven as mentioned before. You can also microwave them. Just remember that microwaving may make them a bit soft. In the fridge, these roll-ups last about three days. After that, they may spoil. Signs of spoilage include a bad smell or mold. Always check before eating leftovers. If in doubt, throw them out. Safety first! Yes, you can prepare these roll-ups ahead of time. Just make the filling and fill the dough. Place them on the baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready, bake them straight from the fridge. This saves time and keeps them fresh. Bake the roll-ups at 375°F (190°C). This temperature helps the dough cook evenly and get a nice golden color. Preheating your oven is key to great results. Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Absolutely! You can use different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda. Each cheese adds its own flavor. Just remember, the cheese should melt well. Feel free to mix and match for a fun twist on the classic recipe. To avoid leaks, don’t overfill the roll-ups. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of filling per triangle. Make sure to roll them tightly and seal the edges well. If needed, press the seams together with your fingers. This will help keep your delicious filling inside. This blog post covered how to make Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Roll-Ups.
