These Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups are fun, comforting, and just a little indulgent—in the best way.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1/2 small onion, finely diced

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon ketchup

• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the beef.
   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook for about 6–8 minutes, breaking the meat apart, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.

2. Season it up.
   Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Mix well and let it cook for another 2 minutes so everything comes together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Add the cheese.
   Once the beef mixture is warm—not hot—stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. It should melt just a bit and hold everything together.

4. Prep the dough.
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up gently, just like crescent rolls.

5. Make the garlic butter.
   In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and chopped parsley.

6. Brush and garnish.
   Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you want that classic burger feel.

7. Bake.
   Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the rollups are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

8. Serve warm.
   Let them cool just slightly, then serve while they’re still warm and melty.

Presentation

• Arrange the rollups on a platter with small bowls of ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping.

• Sprinkle a little extra parsley on top right before serving for a fresh pop of color.

• For parties, serve them with toothpicks—they’re perfect finger food and disappear fast.
