# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
500 g ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 -
120 g beef bacon, cooked and crumbled (thick-cut preferred)
03 -
120 g shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 -
Salt, to taste
05 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
06 -
Optional: 40 g jalapeños, pickles, or onions, finely chopped
→ Dough and Topping
07 -
1 tube (about 250–300 g) crescent roll or pizza dough
08 -
40 g unsalted butter, melted
09 -
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
10 -
Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up finely with a wooden spoon until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
03 -
Drain excess fat from cooked beef. Stir in crumbled beef bacon, ensuring even distribution. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
04 -
Unroll dough onto a lightly floured work surface. If using crescent rolls, press seams together to form a uniform 23x33 cm rectangle. Evenly spread cooled beef mixture over the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border along one long edge. Gently press filling into dough.
05 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over beef mixture. Starting from the long edge without the border, roll dough tightly into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
06 -
Using a sharp knife, cut log into 2.5–4 cm thick slices. Place rollups cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
07 -
Melt butter in a small bowl. Stir in minced garlic and parsley if desired. Brush mixture generously over each rollup.
08 -
Bake in preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Monitor during the final minutes to prevent over-browning.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the filling to cool slightly before spreading to avoid melting the dough.
02 -
For extra flavor, consider adding thinly sliced jalapeños, pickles, or onions with the beef mixture.
