Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef Mixture
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is fully browned and the onions are soft, about 7–10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder. Stir in the crumbled bacon. Mix well and let it cool slightly before assembling.
2. Prepare the Crescent Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Spoon a small amount (about 1–2 tablespoons) of the meat mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the dough up tightly from the wide end toward the point, just like a croissant.
3. Add the Garlic Butter Topping
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rollups a few inches apart.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 1 tsp garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of each rollup generously.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rollups are puffed and golden brown on top.
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as:
- Ketchup
- Ranch dressing
- Spicy mayo
- Barbecue sauce
- Garlic aioli
These rollups are also great as a main dish when paired with fries, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables.
Tips for Success
- Let the meat cool slightly before adding to the dough to avoid soggy bottoms.
- Don’t overfill the triangles—less is more to keep them sealed.
- Try adding extras like pickles, jalapeños, or even a slice of tomato before rolling.
- Leftovers? Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
