Garlic Butter Bacon Rollups (Print Version)

Cheesy bacon rollups with garlic butter, beef, and cheddar in golden dough. Easy, savory, crowd-pleasing bites.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 450 g ground beef
02 - 6–8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
03 - 120 g shredded cheddar cheese
04 - Salt, to taste
05 - Black pepper, to taste
06 - Optional: diced jalapeños
07 - Optional: chopped pickles
08 - Optional: diced onions
09 - Optional: chopped fresh parsley

→ Dough

10 - 1 can (about 250–300 g) crescent roll or pizza dough

→ Topping

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
13 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat with a pinch of salt and black pepper until fully browned. Stir in crumbled bacon and remove from heat to cool slightly.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a rectangle approximately 23 x 33 cm, ensuring edges remain clean to facilitate sealing.
03 - Spread the cooked beef and bacon evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a 1 cm border at the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese across the top. Include any optional fillings if desired.
04 - Tightly roll up the dough from the long side, placing the seam side down. Slice the roll into 2.5–4 cm rounds and arrange seam side down on a parchment-lined baking tray.
05 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in minced garlic and chopped parsley. Generously brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter mixture.
06 - Preheat oven to 190°C. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
07 - Allow rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with dipping sauces of choice.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the beef and bacon mixture is cooled before assembling to avoid softening the dough.
