Ingredients for the Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

These rollups come together with simple ingredients, but every one of them plays a crucial role in making this recipe both tasty and comforting.

Ground beef is the main filling and gives that classic cheeseburger flavor.

Cheddar cheese melts into the beef and adds the rich, cheesy factor that makes every bite satisfying.

Garlic powder gets added to both the beef and the butter to infuse a warm, savory kick.

Salt and pepper balance the flavors in the beef.

Refrigerated crescent dough acts as the flaky, buttery wrapper for the filling.

Butter is melted and mixed with garlic to brush over the rollups for that golden, flavorful finish.

Parsley (optional) adds a pop of color and freshness to the final presentation.

How To Make the Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and gooey. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into triangles. Slightly flatten each triangle to make more room for the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Rollups

Spoon a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll it up gently, tucking in the sides if needed to keep the filling inside. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Add the Garlic Butter

Melt the butter and mix it with garlic powder (and parsley if using). Brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture before baking.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot, and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness in every bite.

How to Serve and Store Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

These rollups are perfect straight out of the oven, warm and gooey. You can serve them with ketchup, mustard, or a burger sauce for dipping. They also work great as leftovers; just reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crisp.

This recipe makes about 8 rollups, enough to feed 3 to 4 people as a meal, or more as appetizers.

To store, let them cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for up to a month. Reheat in the oven for best results.
