Ingredients and Quantities:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Tips for Success:
- Precook the bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy before adding to the rollups for maximum flavor and crunch.
- Use a rolling pin: Roll out the dough evenly to ensure that the filling stays well-contained.
- Season the meat: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Brush with garlic butter: For a rich garlic flavor, brush the tops of the rollups generously with garlic butter before baking.
How to Make and Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the ground beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
- Assemble the rollups:
- Roll out the crescent roll or pizza dough on a floured surface.
- Spread the ground beef evenly over the dough, followed by the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, and slice it into 1-2 inch thick pieces to create individual rollups.
- Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic and parsley.
- Bake the rollups:
- Place the rollups on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each rollup with the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
