Ingredients

For the Cheeseburger Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled 🥓

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Rollups:

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) 🌿

Equipment You’ll Need

  • Large skillet

  • Mixing bowl

  • Baking sheet

  • Pastry brush

  • Parchment paper (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet.

Step 2: Add Flavor to the Beef

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mixture, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and crumbled bacon. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated into a cheesy, beefy blend of goodness.

Step 4: Roll Out the Dough

Unroll your refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, press the seams together to form a unified sheet.

Step 5: Add the Filling

Spread the beef and cheese mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6: Roll & Slice

Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Slice the log into approximately 1- to 1.5-inch thick pieces.

Step 7: Arrange & Bake

Place the rollups, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 8: Make the Garlic Butter

While the rollups bake, melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave, stir in minced garlic, and let it infuse for a few minutes.

Step 9: Brush & Garnish

As soon as the rollups are out of the oven, brush them generously with garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.

Serving Suggestions

These garlic butter bacon cheeseburger rollups are pure comfort food. Serve them with:

  • Classic ketchup or smoky BBQ sauce

  • A side salad for balance

  • Loaded fries for the full diner experience

Pro Tips for Success

  • Cheese Matters: Sharp cheddar gives the filling a deeper flavor.

  • Make Ahead: You can prep and freeze the rollups before baking. Just thaw and bake when you’re ready!

  • Dough Options: Swap pizza dough for puff pastry if you prefer a flakier texture.

Why Garlic Butter Makes Everything Better

The garlic butter glaze isn’t just a final touch — it’s the secret to transforming these rollups from delicious to downright addictive. The warmth of the butter and the aromatic garlic enhance the burger-inspired filling, making each bite melt in your mouth.
