Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
½ small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
1 teaspoon garlic powder + ½ teaspoon parsley flakes (for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the beef
In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Prepare the dough
Roll out crescent dough or pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Press seams together to form one rectangle.
3. Fill and roll
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across the dough. Spoon the cooled beef mixture over the top. Roll tightly from one end to the other, then slice into 1–2-inch pieces.
4. Bake
Place rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
5. Serve
Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or burger sauce.
