Why You’ll Love This Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups Recipe
This recipe takes all the flavors of a cheeseburger and wraps them up in an easy-to-eat, golden-brown pastry. It’s the kind of dish that even picky eaters can get behind. With just a few everyday ingredients and a simple method, you get something that looks and tastes gourmet. It’s portable, dippable, and completely delicious from the first bite to the last.
What Kind of Dough Should I Use?
Refrigerated crescent dough or pizza dough works wonderfully here. Crescent dough gives a lighter, fluffier texture, while pizza dough offers a chewier, more robust bite.

Ingredients for the Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
When you keep it simple with the right ingredients, the flavors shine. Each one plays a role in creating the ultimate rollup.
- Ground beef: The heart of our cheeseburger filling. Cooked until browned and crumbled.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts beautifully into the beef, giving you that classic cheeseburger richness.
- Garlic powder: Adds the subtle kick that transforms the butter into something unforgettable.
- Refrigerated crescent dough: Makes this recipe quick to prepare and bake with a light, flaky finish.
- Salt and pepper: Season the beef perfectly for maximum flavor.
- Butter: Melted and mixed with garlic powder to brush over the dough before baking.
- Pickles or optional burger toppings: For those who want an extra tangy bite.


How To Make the Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess grease, then season with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. Let it cool slightly before assembling.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. If using pizza dough, cut into even rectangles and roll slightly to flatten. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 3: Fill and Roll
Spoon a bit of the beef onto the wide end of each dough piece, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Roll up tightly like you would a crescent roll, keeping the filling sealed inside.
Step 4: Add Garlic Butter
Mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush the tops of the rollups generously. This will bake into a buttery crust with rich garlic flavor.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Place rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and crisp. Let them cool slightly before serving.
How to Serve and Store Your Rollups
These rollups are best enjoyed warm and fresh, but they also reheat well in the oven or air fryer. Serve them on a platter with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for extra flavor. This recipe feeds about 4-6 people as a main course or up to 10 as a party snack.
For leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to bring back their crispiness.
