Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Can substitute with ground turkey)
Cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (Shredded mozzarella can be used for a different texture)
Butter Mixture
- 1/2 cup Garlic Butter (Mix melted butter with minced garlic and herbs)
Dough
- 1 package Rolls or Dough (Crescent dough or whole wheat rolls can lighten the dish)
Condiments
- Ketchup, Mustard, Ranch (Mix according to preference for additional dips)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic and your choice of herbs (such as parsley or oregano). Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
- Assemble the Rollups: Roll out the dough or open the rolls. Spoon an even amount of cooked ground beef onto each portion of dough. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the meat evenly.
- Roll and Seal: Roll the dough tightly around the beef and cheese mixture, sealing edges to prevent leakage during baking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Place the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously brush the tops and sides with the prepared garlic butter to enhance flavor and promote browning.
- Bake the Rollups: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through with bubbling cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Offer condiments like ketchup, mustard, or ranch on the side for dipping as desired.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey for a leaner protein option.
- Use shredded mozzarella cheese for a milder and stretchier texture.
- Try crescent dough or whole wheat rolls to make the dish lighter.
- Garlic butter can be prepared ahead to save time during assembly.
- Ensure rollups are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for extra flavor.
