Core ingredients you’ll use

Ground beef, seasonings, cheese, and dough

• 1 lb ground beef — lean, flavorful base I favor.
• 1 tsp salt — brings out beef’s savoriness.
• ½ tsp black pepper — gentle heat to wake flavors.
• 1 tsp garlic powder — bold garlic aroma.
• ½ tsp onion powder — subtle sweetness and depth.
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella) — melts into a gooey blanket.
• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough — easy, flaky wrapper.
• 3 tbsp butter, melted — base for the garlic glaze.
• 2 garlic cloves, minced — fresh, punchy garlic kick.
• 1 tsp dried parsley (optional) — color and fragrance.

Optional additions and substitutions

How to Make Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

Step 1 — Prepare the beef for Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

Browning the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder

For Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups, I start by browning the beef. I heat a skillet over medium heat and crumble the beef.

I cook it until browned, then drain the fat. I stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Let the beef cool slightly before assembling. That helps the flavors settle.

Step 2 — Build the rollup

Unroll dough, spread beef, sprinkle cheese, and roll tightly

Unroll the dough on a clean surface. Spread the cooled beef in an even layer.

Sprinkle the cheese over the beef. I like cheddar or mozzarella for a gooey melt.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and seal the edge. Chill a moment if it helps, then slice.

Step 3 — Slice and arrange

Cut into 1½-inch pieces and place on parchment-lined sheet

Slice the log into 1½-inch pieces. Place them on parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing slightly.

Space the slices evenly on the sheet. Avoid crowding for even browning.

Step 4 — Garlic butter glaze and bake

Brush with melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley; bake 15–18 minutes

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley. This garlic butter glaze gives the rollups their shine.

Brush the glaze over each rollup. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired for toasty crunch.

Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 5 — Serve

Serve warm with dipping sauces (ketchup, ranch, etc.)

Let the rollups rest a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Ketchup, ranch, or aioli make great pairings. Enjoy the creamy, garlicky bite.

Tips for Success

Flavor and texture tips

• Let the beef cool briefly before spreading on the dough.
• Spread a light layer of beef to keep rolls tidy.
• Shred cheese evenly for uniform melt in every bite.
• Use parchment for easy cleanup and even browning.
• Brush garlic butter glaze while rolls are hot for flavor and shine.
• Vary cheese for different flavors, like cheddar or mozzarella.

For crisper edges, bake a little longer watching carefully

Increase bake time by 1–2 minutes. Watch edges closely to prevent burning.

Make-Ahead and Meal-Prep for Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups

I love how Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups save me on crazy weeknights. When I plan ahead, dinner feels like a warm hug instead of a sprint through the pantry. Make-ahead prep keeps the garlic butter glow intact and the dough flaky, even after a busy day.

My trick is to separate tasks: brown the beef, mix the garlic butter glaze, and keep the dough ready to roll. You can refrigerate these components for up to 24 hours. The result is a jump-start meal you just roll and bake when hunger hits.

Make-ahead and freezing tips

For the best texture, I assemble and slice the rolls, then freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray. Once solid, I transfer them to a labeled freezer bag. This keeps the pieces from sticking and makes it easy to grab a handful for dinner or a party platter.

Assemble rolls, freeze before baking; bake from frozen, add 5–7 minutes

To bake from frozen, preheat to 375°F. Place the frozen rollups on a parchment-lined sheet and bake for about 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbly. If you thaw the rolls overnight, bake for 15–18 minutes. Either way, you’ll come back to that garlicky, buttery aroma that says home.

Unbaked rolls will stay best in the freezer for up to 1–2 months. Reheat baked rollups by baking at 350°F for 8–12 minutes to preserve their crisp edges. Leftovers reheated in the oven stay closest to the fresh-baked texture.

FAQs

Can I use crescent dough or pizza dough interchangeably?

Yes, both work; pizza dough may yield a heartier bite

In my kitchen, crescent dough gives lighter, flakier edges, while pizza dough yields a sturdier bite.

If you’re after quick-and-crave-worthy bites, crescent is perfect. For a heartier texture, use pizza dough. Either way, you’ll still get the garlicky butter glow and melty cheese in Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups.

How should I store leftovers?

Refrigerate in an airtight container; reheat in oven or air fryer

Leftovers keep best in the fridge for 2–3 days.

Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer to restore crunch. If using the air fryer, 5–7 minutes usually does the trick. Avoid microwaving, which softens crust.

Can I make these spicy or gluten-free?

Use pepper jack for heat; to make gluten-free, use a suitable gluten-free dough

I love pepper jack for a quick kick. For gluten-free, choose a dough labeled gluten-free and follow the same steps.

Keep an eye on bake time since gluten-free dough can behave differently.

Any tips for dipping sauces?

Classic ketchup, ranch, or aioli pair nicely

My go-tos are classic ketchup and ranch, plus a zippy garlic aioli if you’re feeling fancy.

Have fun with dips; they’re half the flavor game and they make Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups even more crowd-pleasing.
