Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for brushing
Instructions
Cook the beef mixture:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
Prepare the crescent dough:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough.
Assemble the rollups:
- Spoon the beef, bacon, and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up into a log shape, making sure the filling stays inside.
- Cut the roll into 8-10 equal slices and place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the rollups:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each rollup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
- Allow the rollups to cool slightly before serving. They are perfect as an appetizer, a side dish, or even a fun main course.
Notes
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some additional shredded cheese over the rollups before baking.
- To make this recipe ahead of time, assemble the rollups and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before baking.
- For added crunch, you can top the rollups with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or a drizzle of your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or ketchup.
