The dish shows a close-up of a spiral roll with three main layers: the base layer is a light golden, soft dough that is thick and slightly toasted at the edges; on top of the dough sits a crumble of dark, well-cooked ground meat spread evenly throughout the spiral; the top layer is melted bright orange cheddar cheese that covers the meat, with some browned spots from baking. The roll is sprinkled with small pieces of fresh green herbs scattered over the cheese.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra gooeyness, mix mozzarella with the cheddar cheese or add a slice of cheese inside each rollup before baking.
  • Try adding finely chopped pickles or cooked bacon to the beef mixture for added flavor.
  • If crescent dough is used, pinch seams tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.

Storage

Store leftover rollups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven until warmed through, brushing with extra butter if desired to keep them moist.

Description

These Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups are a deliciously savory twist on classic cheeseburgers, wrapped in flaky pizza dough and baked to golden perfection. Packed with seasoned ground beef, aromatic garlic, tangy ketchup and mustard, and melted cheddar cheese, these rollups are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or casual meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar & mozzarella)

Dough & Topping

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent dough sheet)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, stirring well. Then, mix in the ketchup and yellow mustard and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape to create the base for the rollups.
  3. Assemble rollups: Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar and mozzarella mix) uniformly over the beef layer.
  4. Roll and slice: Starting from the long edge of the dough rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log, encasing the filling. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1 to 1.5-inch thick pieces, resembling pinwheels.
  5. Bake: Place the rollup slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow for expansion. Brush the tops of the rollups with the melted butter combined with garlic powder. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rollups turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  6. Finish and serve: After baking, optionally brush the rollups with extra garlic butter for added flavor. Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute crescent dough for pizza dough if preferred, but pizza dough provides a thicker, chewier texture.
  • For a cheesier variation, use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Ensure the slices are spaced adequately on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and to allow even cooking.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best results.
