Garlic Butter Beef Rollups (Printer-Friendly)

Flaky dough filled with seasoned beef and sharp cheddar, topped with garlic butter for a rich, golden crust.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat Filling

01 - 1 lb ground beef, lean
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

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

→ Garlic Butter Glaze

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

→ Garnish

11 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light grease to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with diced onions for 8-10 minutes until beef is cooked through and onions are softened. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain excess grease and let mixture cool slightly.
03 - Stir shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the warm beef mixture ensuring even distribution without melting the cheese prematurely.
04 - Unroll crescent dough and carefully separate into eight triangles to create filling pockets.
05 - Place approximately one heaping tablespoon of beef mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll from the wide end toward the pointed tip, fully enclosing the filling. Arrange rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Combine melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Generously brush mixture onto the top of each rollup to achieve a golden, fragrant crust.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
08 - Remove rollups from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ketchup or ranch.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Allow beef mixture to cool slightly before adding cheese to preserve filling texture.
02 - For crispier crust, drain excess grease thoroughly and refrigerate rolled-up dough before baking.
03 - These rollups freeze well before baking; add a few extra minutes to baking time when cooking from frozen.
