Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to make your Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups. Follow these simple steps to create a meal that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

1. Prepare the Bacon

Start by cooking the bacon until it’s crispy. You can either fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until crispy.

If frying, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally until the bacon is crispy and browned.
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the pan and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
After the bacon has cooled, chop it into small pieces. Set it aside for later.

2. Cook the Ground Beef

While the bacon is cooking, you can start working on the beef filling. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Continue to cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

Drain any excess grease from the beef, leaving just a little bit for flavor.
Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the beef is well-coated in the sauce mixture.
Once combined, add the chopped bacon to the beef mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Set the beef mixture aside to cool for a few minutes.

3. Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough

While the beef mixture cools, open the package of crescent roll dough. Lay the dough flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough to create a larger, more even rectangle.

Press the perforations of the dough together so there are no visible seams. You want one big, smooth sheet of dough to work with.

4. Assemble the Rollups

Now it’s time to assemble the rollups. Spread the cooked ground beef and bacon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the beef mixture.

Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up into a log, keeping the filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal the rollup and prevent the filling from spilling out.
Slice the rollup into individual pieces (about 1-2 inches per rollup). You should get around 8-10 rollups, depending on the size of your dough and how thick you slice them.

5. Bake the Rollups

Arrange the rollups on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching. Bake the rollups in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

While the rollups are baking, you can make the garlic butter glaze.

6. Make the Garlic Butter Glaze

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Once the garlic butter is ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside.

7. Glaze the Rollups

When the rollups are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Immediately brush the garlic butter glaze over the top of each rollup, making sure to coat them generously. The butter will melt into the warm rolls, giving them an extra boost of flavor.

8. Garnish and Serve

For a fresh pop of color, garnish the rollups with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve them immediately while they’re still warm, and enjoy!

Tips and Variations for Perfect Rollups

Use Different Cheeses: While cheddar cheese is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses. A mix of sharp cheddar and mozzarella will make the rollups extra cheesy and gooey.
Add Pickles: If you love pickles on your burgers, add some finely chopped dill pickles to the beef mixture for an extra layer of flavor. This adds a tangy crunch that pairs wonderfully with the savory garlic butter.
Use Ground Turkey or Chicken: For a lighter version of this recipe, you can swap the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. These leaner meats will still provide great flavor, especially when mixed with the bacon and garlic butter.
Make Mini Rollups: For a fun party snack or appetizer, try making mini rollups. Simply use half the amount of dough and cut the rollups smaller. They’re perfect for serving at a party or as an appetizer.
Add Veggies: If you want to sneak in some veggies, try adding finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the beef mixture. These will add flavor, moisture, and a nutritional boost to the rollups.
