Ingredients for Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

• 1 lb ground beef
• 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tube (8 oz) crescent roll dough
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions for Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the crumbled bacon and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 2: Assemble the Rollups

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and place each rollup on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake

• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rollups generously with the garlic butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips & Notes

• Crescent Dough: Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent dough well to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
• Cook Bacon Ahead: You can cook the bacon ahead of time to save prep time. Crumbled cooked bacon works best for easy mixing.
• Cheese Variety: Try using Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor twist.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Spicy Version: Add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
• BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups: Drizzle 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce into the beef mixture for a sweet and smoky flavor.
• Turkey Rollups: Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
