Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 85/15 lean
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: Sesame seeds
  • Optional toppings: Everything bagel seasoning
  • Optional toppings: Chopped green onions
  • Optional dipping sauces: Ketchup
  • Optional dipping sauces: Mustard
  • Optional dipping sauces: Ranch dressing

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Spoon
  • small saucepan
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Pizza cutter (optional)
  • knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and parsley and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  5. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef onto the wide end of each triangle. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle towards the point. Place the rollups on the prepared baking sheet, point side down.
  8. Brush the tops of the rollups with the garlic butter. You might have some garlic butter leftover – that's okay! You can use it for dipping later.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or chopped green onions, if desired. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, like ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Notes

Don't overfill the rollups to prevent leaking. Seal the edges by pinching them. Use a pizza cutter for even triangles if using crescent roll sheets. Don't overbake to avoid dryness. Get creative with fillings like chopped onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapenos. For extra cheesy rollups, sprinkle some extra cheese on top before baking. Store assembled rollups in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze baked rollups for up to 2 months. Reheat frozen rollups at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
