Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ground beef (1 lb)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated crescent dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking up the meat, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft (about 5‑7 minutes).
Add the minced garlic, season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for another 1‑2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until the filling is slightly cooled.
Open the can of crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
Gently roll up each crescent, enclosing the filling, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake for 12‑15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
If desired, finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for color. Serve warm.

Variations

Replace cheddar with Monterey Jack or pepper Jack for a bit of heat.
Use pizza dough or puff pastry instead of crescent dough for a different texture.
Add chopped pickles, crumbled bacon, or sautéed mushrooms into the beef mixture for extra flavor and crunch.
For a lighter version, swap in lean ground turkey or chicken (adjust seasoning accordingly).
Try topping the baked rollups with a drizzle of spicy mayo or your favorite dipping sauce.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in a toaster oven/oven for a few minutes to bring back the crispiness of the dough. For longer storage, freeze the rollups (after cooling) on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip‑top bag. Reheat directly from frozen at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 15 minutes (or until warmed through) for a quick snack or meal.

FAQs

1. Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

Yes — you can prepare and roll them ahead, cover and refrigerate, then bake just before serving for best freshness.

2. Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Absolutely — both turkey and chicken work well. Just adjust seasoning as these leaner meats may need a bit more flavor.

3. Do I have to use crescent dough?

No — you can substitute pizza dough or puff pastry, although baking times and texture may vary slightly.

4. Are these rollups freezer‑friendly?

Yes — after baking and cooling, freeze them for later use. Reheat in the oven or air fryer when ready.

5. How do I prevent the rollups from exploding or leaking?

Avoid overfilling the dough. Pinch any open edges closed and bake with the seam side down to help keep everything in.

6. Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Yes — finely chopped veggies like bell pepper or mushrooms can be added during the beef‑onion step for extra texture and flavor.

7. What dipping sauces pair well with these?

Classic choices include ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo. You could also serve with a burger sauce for a fun twist.

8. Can I make these smaller or larger?

Sure — adjust the amount of filling and size of the dough pieces depending on whether you want snack‑size rollups or larger ones for a full meal.

9. What if I don’t have garlic powder for brushing?

You can skip or substitute with onion powder or paprika for a different finish, though garlic powder enhances the garlic‑butter flavor.

10. How do I get the rollups evenly cooked and golden?

Ensure the beef mixture isn’t too hot when you roll it into the dough, space the rollups on the baking sheet so air can circulate, and check around the 12‑minute mark to avoid over‑browning.
