how to make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices beef bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Directions:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and remove from heat. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a separate skillet until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the pan, drain on paper towels, and chop it into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and garlic powder (if using). Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.
- Place a spoonful of the cooked ground beef in the center of each triangle, followed by a sprinkle of chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up each crescent roll, starting at the wide end, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each rollup with the garlic butter mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Once the rollups are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra garlic butter for dipping, if desired.
