Garlic Butter Beef Rollups (Printer-Friendly)

Tender beef and cheddar wrapped in flaky crescent dough with a buttery garlic glaze.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Savory beef filling

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - ½ tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
05 - ½ tsp onion powder
06 - ½ cup yellow onion, diced
07 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

→ Dough and garlic butter topping

08 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
09 - 2 tbsp butter, melted
10 - 1 tsp garlic powder
11 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onions until beef is browned and onions are soft, about 8–10 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain excess grease and cool slightly.
03 - Once beef mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined, preventing premature melting.
04 - Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 individual triangles.
05 - Spoon a heaping tablespoon of beef and cheese filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll from wide end to point to encase the filling and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
06 - Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush generously over the tops of all rollups for flavor and golden color.
07 - Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and dough is cooked through. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
08 - Serve rollups warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ketchup or ranch dressing.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Allow beef mixture to cool before adding cheese to maintain filling texture.
02 - These rollups can be prepared in advance and refrigerated prior to baking; extend baking time if baking cold.
03 - Try varying cheese types like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor.
04 - Leftovers reheat well in an oven at 350°F for 5 minutes or quickly in a microwave.
