Ingredients

For the Rollups:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

  • Step No.1: Cook the ground beef
    In a large skillet, heat benefits of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

  • Drain any excess fat and season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the crumbled bacon and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • Step No.2: Prepare the dough
    Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough) onto a flat surface, pressing it into a rectangular shape. If using pizza dough, stretch it slightly to fit your desired size.

  • Step No.3: Assemble the rollups
    Spread the cooked ground beef and bacon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the beef mixture. Carefully roll the dough up from one edge to another, making a tight log.

  • Step No.4: Slice the rollups
    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 1-1.5-inch slices. You should have about 8-10 rollups, depending on the size of your dough.

  • Step No.5: Bake the rollups
    Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  • Step No.6: Make the garlic butter
    While the roll-ups bake, melt the butter in a small bowl. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley (if using), and stir to combine.

  • Step No.7: Brush with garlic butter
    Once the rollups are out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving.

  • Step No.8: Serve and enjoy
    Serve these delicious Garlic Butter bacon cheeseburger Rollups with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or ranch. Enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Use Quality Ground Beef: For the best flavour, choose good quality ground beef, preferably 80/20, for the right balance of fat and flavour.

  • Roll Tightly: When rolling the dough, roll it tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out while baking.

  • Customize the Fillings: Feel free to add your favourite burger toppings, such as sautéed onions, pickles, or a drizzle of ketchup and mustard after baking for extra flavour.

  • Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Give each rollup a little space on the baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.

Variations

  • Cheesy Bacon Rollups: Skip the ground beef and use extra bacon for a richer, bacon-only filling with cheese.

  • vegetarian diet Rollups: Substitute the ground beef with seasoned black beans or a veggie patty for a vegetarian version.

  • Spicy Cheeseburger Rollups: Add jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.

  • Double Cheese Rollups: Use both cheddar and mozzarella for an extra cheesy experience.

Serving and Storage

Serving

Serve these Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups immediately while they are warm and gooey. They pair wonderfully with a side of fries, a fresh salad, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

Storage

Any leftover rollups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or microwave them for a few seconds until warm.

FAQ

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey or chicken will be a leaner alternative to ground beef. Make sure to season it well to enhance the flavour.

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rollups ahead of time, place them on the baking sheet, and refrigerate them. When ready to bake, just pop them in the oven and cook as directed.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! For a different flavor profile, you can use any type of cheese you like, such as mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack.

About Sana Umer

I'm Sana Umer — the home cook behind every recipe on For Foodie Friends. I'm a Pakistani-American mom of two based in the US, and I've been cooking seriously for about a decade now, mostly because feeding a family every day is the fastest way to learn how to actually cook.

I'm completely self-taught. I learned by watching my mother in Pakistan, by burning a lot of food in my early years, and by paying attention to which recipes worked and which ones needed fixing. I don't specialize in just one cuisine — I cook the Pakistani dishes I grew up with, the American desserts my kids request, weeknight dinners, holiday roasts, and everything in between.

Every recipe is personally tested in my own kitchen, every word is written by me, and every photo is taken of food I actually made.

Hi, I'm Sana Umer — the home cook, recipe tester, and writer behind For Foodie Friends.

I'm a Pakistani-American mom based in the US. I learned to cook in two kitchens — my mother's in Pakistan, where I grew up watching whole spices bloom in oil, and my own kitchen now, where I cook for my husband and kids.

Every recipe on this site has been tested in my own kitchen, often more times than I'd like to admit, before it ever made it here. I cook a little bit of everything: the Pakistani comfort food I grew up with, the American desserts my kids beg for, weeknight dinners that need to come together fast, and the holiday spreads that take all day.

If a recipe is on this site, it earned its place. No ghostwriters, no AI shortcuts, no copy-paste from somewhere else — just real recipes from a real kitchen, written to actually work the first time you make them.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

— Sana
