📝 Ingredients
For the Filling:

1 lb (450g) ground beef
-
6 slices bacon, chopped
-
1 small onion, finely diced
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
1 tbsp ketchup (optional)
-
1 tbsp mustard (optional)
-
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
For the Dough:
-
1 can refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll sheet (or homemade dough)
-
Flour (for rolling)
For the Garlic Butter:
-
¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
-
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
-
Drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
-
Add the onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
-
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Once browned and fully cooked, drain any excess grease.
-
Stir in ketchup and mustard if using, and cook for 1 more minute.
-
Turn off heat, stir in cheddar cheese and cooked bacon. Let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Roll Out the Dough
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle (roughly 10×14 inches).
-
Evenly spread the beef mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
3. Roll & Slice
-
Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough like a jelly roll.
-
Pinch the seam to seal and place seam-side down.
-
Slice into 1 to 1.5 inch thick rollups (like cinnamon rolls).
-
Place each roll on the baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
4. Make the Garlic Butter
-
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan (if using).
5. Bake
-
Brush the tops of the rollups generously with garlic butter.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Final Touch
-
Optional: Brush with more garlic butter right after baking for extra flavor and shine.
-
Let cool slightly before serving.
