ToggleGarlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced pickles (optional but adds a great flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef Mixture:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain any excess fat, then stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced pickles (if using).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
Roll Out the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. You want to stretch it out into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.
-
Assemble the Rollups:
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll up the dough like you would a cinnamon roll, making sure the filling stays inside.
-
Slice the Rollups:
- Once rolled up, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into about 1-inch slices. You should have several small rollups.
-
Make Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and mix well.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops of the rollups.
-
Bake the Rollups:
- Arrange the rollups on a baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
- Serve hot as an appetizer, snack, or a fun dinner with extra dipping sauce on the side.
Optional Dipping Sauce:
- Ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing work wonderfully for dipping.
