How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Assemble the Rollups
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Separate the dough into triangles. On each triangle, place a spoonful of the cooked ground beef, sprinkle with bacon bits, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the triangles from the wider end to the tip, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside. Place the rollups seam side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter Glaze
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush the garlic butter glaze generously over each rollup.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
Bake the rollups in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, flavorful goodness!
Recipe Tips:
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite cheese or additional toppings like onions, pickles, or mushrooms.
- Make sure to fully seal the edges of the rollups to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the dough with egg wash before baking.

Experiment with different types of ground meat such as ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
