How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cheeseburger Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until browned.
Drain excess grease, then stir in garlic powder, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Remove from heat and mix in chopped bacon and shredded cheese. Let cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Dough

Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent dough, pinch seams to seal.
Cut into 4×6-inch rectangles (or roughly palm-sized sections).

3. Fill and Roll

Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each rectangle.
Roll up tightly, folding the sides slightly to keep the filling inside.
Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Brush with Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, and parsley.
Brush generously over each rollup. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

5. Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving (the inside will be hot!).

What to Serve With Cheeseburger Rollups

These are amazing on their own, but even better with dipping sauces and sides!

Dips & Sauces:

• Ketchup + mayo mix (burger sauce)

• Ranch dressing or garlic aioli

• Spicy mustard or BBQ sauce

• Cheese sauce (because more cheese never hurts)

Side Ideas:

• Crispy potato wedges or fries

• Simple green salad or coleslaw

• Pickles, carrot sticks, or sliced cucumbers

• Macaroni salad or pasta salad for a picnic feel

Tips for the Best Rollups

• Cool the filling slightly before rolling to prevent soggy dough.

• Don’t overfill — a little goes a long way, and too much can cause bursting.

• Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.

• Brush with garlic butter before and after baking for max flavor.

• Want extra crispiness? Bake a few extra minutes or broil briefly at the end.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

• Freezer: Freeze baked rollups for up to 2 months. Wrap individually for easy reheating.

• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 10–12 minutes, or microwave for 1–2 minutes (oven gives better texture).
