## **Ingredients for Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups**
To make these **Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups**, you’ll need the following ingredients:
### **For the Rollups:**
– **Ground Beef (1 lb / 450g)**: The star of the filling. Use lean ground beef for a balance of flavor and juiciness.
– **Bacon (6-8 slices)**: Bacon adds that smoky, crispy goodness we love in a cheeseburger.
– **Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 1/2 cups)**: Cheddar cheese is ideal for cheeseburgers, with its sharp and creamy flavor. Feel free to use a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella or American, for a different taste.
– **Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough (1 can)**: This pre-made dough saves time and makes the rollups super easy to assemble. You can also use pizza dough or biscuit dough for an alternative.
– **Garlic (2-3 cloves, minced)**: Garlic adds incredible flavor to the butter glaze that coats the rollups.
### **For the Garlic Butter Glaze:**
– **Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup / 113g)**: The butter is the base of the glaze, adding richness and flavor.
– **Garlic Powder (1 tsp)**: In addition to the fresh garlic, garlic powder enhances the garlicky flavor of the glaze.
– **Dried Parsley (1 tbsp)**: Parsley gives the garlic butter a fresh finish and a pop of color.
– **Salt (1/2 tsp)**: Salt helps to balance the richness of the butter and the savory filling.
## **Instructions: How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups**
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s go over the step-by-step process of making **Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups**.
### **Step 1: Prepare the Bacon and Beef Filling**
1. **Cook the bacon**: Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain excess fat. Chop the bacon into small bits.
2. **Cook the ground beef**: In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat from the beef, and season it with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like (such as onion powder or paprika).
3. **Combine bacon and beef**: Add the chopped bacon to the cooked beef and mix well. This will be the filling for your rollups.
### **Step 2: Assemble the Rollups**
1. **Prepare the dough**: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a flat surface. If you’re using crescent rolls, pinch the seams together to form a solid sheet of dough.
2. **Add the filling**: Spread an even layer of the beef and bacon mixture across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. **Add cheese**: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef and bacon mixture. You want the cheese to melt beautifully inside the rollups.
4. **Roll it up**: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log or cylinder, making sure the filling stays inside. Seal the edges as you roll to prevent the filling from spilling out.
### **Step 3: Bake the Rollups**
1. Preheat the oven to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. **Slice the rollups**: Using a sharp knife, slice the dough log into 12-15 evenly sized pieces.
3. **Arrange on a baking sheet**: Place the rollup slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Space them apart so they don’t stick together while baking.
4. **Bake** for about **12-15 minutes**, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.
### **Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter Glaze**
1. While the rollups are baking, melt the **unsalted butter** in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the **minced garlic** and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Stir in the **garlic powder**, **dried parsley**, and **salt**. Continue to cook for another minute, allowing the butter to absorb all the flavors.
### **Step 5: Brush the Garlic Butter on the Rollups**
1. Once the rollups are baked, remove them from the oven.
2. Immediately brush the warm **garlic butter** glaze generously over the top of each rollup. This will infuse the rollups with a rich, garlicky flavor that complements the cheeseburger filling perfectly.
3. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of cheese.
### **Step 6: Serve and Enjoy**
Serve the **Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups** while they’re warm, straight from the oven. They make an excellent appetizer, snack, or even a fun meal. For added flavor, serve with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or a tangy barbecue sauce.
