Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups — Easy Dinner Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups Recipe

I fell in love with Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups on a rainy weeknight when I wanted the comfort of a cheeseburger without the fuss of the grill. Growing up, family dinners often meant hearty, hand-held foods — burgers, sliders, and warm rolls — so this recipe instantly felt like home: all the savory burger flavors wrapped in flaky crescent dough, finished with a glossy garlic butter glaze. While the cheeseburger itself is a classic American staple with roots in early 20th-century diners, these rollups blend that nostalgia with the convenience of modern weeknight baking. They’re warm, buttery, and perfect for sharing.

Who is this recipe for?

• This recipe is perfect for busy parents, weeknight cooks, and anyone who loves an easy, handheld comfort meal.

A brief overview of the core ingredients:

• This dish combines 1 pound ground beef, 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American), 1/4 cup garlic butter, and crescent roll dough to create a cheesy, savory roll-up that’s quick to assemble. Season simply with salt and pepper and add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles for a true cheeseburger experience.

Tools & Ingredients

Tools

• Skillet or frying pan — for browning the beef evenly.
• Baking sheet — to bake the rollups until golden.
• Mixing spoon or spatula — for stirring and breaking up the beef.
• Pastry brush — to brush garlic butter on top.
• Cutting board and knife — to slice any toppings or to portion dough.
• Measuring cups — for accurate ingredient amounts.
• Parchment paper (optional) — for easy cleanup and nonstick baking.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef — provides hearty protein and classic burger flavor.
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American) — melts beautifully for gooey cheesiness.
• 1/4 cup garlic butter — adds rich, savory, aromatic flavor and a shiny finish.
• 1 package of crescent roll dough — saves time and creates a flaky, golden crust.
• Salt and pepper to taste — enhances and balances flavors.
• Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles) — add freshness, crunch, and bright contrast.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat if desired.
3. Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into rectangles or sections large enough to hold a spoonful of beef and cheese.
4. Place a portion of the cooked beef and a sprinkle of shredded cheese on each dough rectangle, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges.
5. Place the rollups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Brush the tops generously with garlic butter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve warm with additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles, or your favorite condiments.

FAQ

Q: Can I freeze this recipe?
A: Yes. Assemble the rollups but do not brush with garlic butter or bake. Flash-freeze on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C), adding a few extra minutes to the baking time and brushing with garlic butter partway through baking.

Q: What can I use instead of crescent roll dough?
A: You can use puff pastry or biscuit dough as substitutes. Puff pastry gives a flakier, lighter crust, while biscuit dough yields a denser, more bread-like roll.

Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Absolutely. Swap the ground beef for seasoned cooked lentils, plant-based crumbles, or a sautéed mushroom-onion mixture, and proceed with the same steps.

Q: How do I prevent the rollups from leaking cheese while baking?
A: Avoid overfilling and seal the seams well by pressing edges together firmly. Placing rollups seam-side down on the baking sheet also helps keep fillings contained.

Tips & Tricks

• Don’t overfill: Use a modest spoonful of beef and a light sprinkle of cheese to prevent bursting and leaking while baking.
• Seal seams well: Pinch the dough edges together or tuck them under so rollups hold their shape in the oven.
• Toast the bottoms: If you like an extra-crisp bottom, place the baking sheet on a lower rack for the last 2–3 minutes of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Fresh garlic butter: Warm the garlic butter slightly to make it easy to brush and to help it soak into the top for extra flavor.
