1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure the rollups won’t stick and will bake evenly.

2. Cook the Beef

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7–9 minutes. Drain any excess fat carefully.

Once drained, season the beef generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance its savory base flavor. Mix well, then remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes—this will help prevent the cheese from melting too early in the next step.

3. Mix the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled cooked bacon. Stir until the mixture is smooth, cheesy, and well combined. The cream cheese binds everything together into a spreadable, luscious filling.

4. Roll Out the Dough

Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a lightly floured surface. If using crescent rolls, pinch the seams to form a solid rectangle. You’re aiming for a rough 9×13 inch rectangle, which allows enough space to spread the filling and roll.

Optional Step: Lightly spread Dijon mustard or ketchup over the dough to add that extra burger-like tanginess. This layer acts as a subtle nod to traditional burger condiments.

5. Fill and Roll

Spoon the cheeseburger filling onto the dough, and spread it evenly, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides. This space helps the filling stay inside when you roll.

Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough tightly like a jelly roll, being careful not to press too hard to prevent filling from squeezing out. Pinch the edge to seal.

Using a sharp knife or serrated blade, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces. You should get about 10–12 rollups.

6. Arrange and Brush with Garlic Butter

Carefully transfer each slice onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Flatten slightly with your fingers if needed.

In a small bowl, melt the butter, then stir in the garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush this fragrant garlic butter generously over the tops of each rollup. If you want a cheesier finish, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top.

7. Bake to Perfection

Place the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown, the cheese is bubbling, and the centers are cooked through.

8. Serve Warm

Let the rollups cool slightly before serving—they’ll be hot straight from the oven! Serve with ketchup, ranch, burger sauce, or any favorite dip for the ultimate indulgence.
