Ingredients for the Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

Every ingredient in these rollups plays a deliciously specific role. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Ground Beef – The star of the filling. Go for lean ground beef to avoid excess grease.
  • Yellow Onion – Adds a savory sweetness and depth to the meat mixture.
  • Garlic Powder – Infuses that irresistible flavor into both the filling and the butter.
  • Salt & Pepper – Essential for bringing out the full flavor of the beef.
  • Cheddar Cheese – Sharp and melty, it delivers the classic cheeseburger taste.
  • Mozzarella Cheese – For that dreamy cheese pull and gooey texture.
  • Refrigerated Pizza Dough or Crescent Dough – Creates a crisp, flaky outer layer that holds everything together.
  • Butter – Brushed on top for a golden finish.
  • Fresh Garlic – Mixed with butter to create a rich garlic topping.
  • Parsley – Adds a fresh, herby pop and visual appeal.

How To Make the Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Roll out your dough onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. If using crescent rolls, pinch the seams to seal them into a single sheet.

Step 3: Add the Cheese and Meat

Sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a small border. Spoon the cooled beef mixture evenly over the cheese.

Step 4: Roll It Up

Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice into even pieces, about 1.5 to 2 inches wide.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Step 6: Brush with Garlic Butter

Melt butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. As soon as the rollups come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter for that final savory touch.


How to Serve and Store Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

These rollups are best served hot and fresh from the oven when the cheese is still perfectly melted and the tops are golden brown. They make a fantastic party snack, game day bite, or easy weeknight dinner. One batch feeds about 4 to 6 people, depending on portion size and appetites.

To store leftovers, let them cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore that crispy, cheesy goodness. Avoid microwaving if possible—it can make the dough soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

Yes! You can fully assemble the rollups, place them on a baking tray, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to cook, just brush with garlic butter and bake as directed.

Can I use a different meat?

Definitely! Ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives work well in this recipe. Just season accordingly to maintain that rich, savory flavor.
