Garlic Butter Beef Rollups (Printer-Friendly Version)

Savory beef and cheddar wrapped in crescent dough, brushed with garlic butter for a golden, aromatic bite.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Filling

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

→ Dough

08 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Garlic Butter Glaze

09 - 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
10 - 1 tsp garlic powder

→ Garnish

11 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onions for 8 to 10 minutes until beef is browned and onions are softened. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder during cooking. Drain excess grease and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
03 - When the beef mixture is warm but no longer hot, fold in shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated.
04 - Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently separate into eight triangles.
05 - Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef and cheese filling on the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll from the wide end toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling completely. Arrange each rollup seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush the mixture generously over all rollups to ensure a golden finish.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as ketchup or ranch dressing.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Allow the beef mixture to cool before adding cheese to retain a hearty texture.
02 - These rollups freeze well before baking; bake directly from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
03 - Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispness.
