🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1 — Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.

---

STEP 2 — Cook the Ground Beef Filling

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.

2. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned.

3. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté another 2–3 minutes until onions are translucent.

4. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.

5. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Tip: Slightly cooling the meat prevents the dough from getting soggy when rolled.

---

STEP 3 — Prepare the Dough

• If using puff pastry, roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.

• If using crescent roll dough, unroll it and gently press seams together to create a rectangle.

---

STEP 4 — Assemble the Rollups

1. Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture across the dough, leaving a small border along the edges.

2. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the beef.

3. Add optional toppings (pickles, mustard, jalapeños, caramelized onions).

4. Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.

5. Pinch the seams to seal.

6. Slice into 1–2 inch pieces using a sharp knife.

---

STEP 5 — Prepare Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.

2. Brush the tops of each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture.

---

STEP 6 — Bake the Rollups

• Place rollups on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.

• Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

• Brush again lightly with garlic butter halfway through baking for extra flavor.

Tip: If you like extra crispiness, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

---

STEP 7 — Serve

Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, aioli, or spicy sriracha mayo. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

🧀 Flavor Variations

1. Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

• Add cooked, crumbled bacon to the filling for extra smokiness.

2. Jalapeño Popper Cheeseburger Rollups

• Add sliced jalapeños and cream cheese along with cheddar for a spicy twist.

3. BBQ Cheeseburger Rollups

• Mix the cooked beef with BBQ sauce before rolling.

• Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top for a sweet and tangy flavor.

4. Mushroom Swiss Rollups

• Sauté mushrooms with garlic and onions, then mix with Swiss cheese for a rich, earthy flavor.

5. Tex-Mex Cheeseburger Rollups

• Add taco seasoning, corn, and black beans to the beef mixture.

• Top with pepper jack cheese for a zesty finish.

🥄 Cooking Tips for Perfect Rollups

• Do not overfill: Overfilling can cause cheese and meat to leak during baking.

• Seal edges well: Press edges with a fork or pinch by hand to prevent leakage.

• Brush generously: Garlic butter ensures a golden, flavorful crust.

• Adjust oven time: Puff pastry may bake faster than crescent dough; monitor closely.

• Cool slightly before slicing: This prevents cheese from oozing too much when cut.

---

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with French fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings for a full comfort-food meal.

• Pair with coleslaw or a fresh green salad to balance richness.

• Great as a party appetizer, game-day snack, or family dinner.

• Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.

---

🧺 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Refrigeration: Store baked rollups in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Freezing: Assemble unbaked rollups, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to baking time.

• Make-ahead: Cook the filling ahead of time and assemble just before baking to save time.
