6. Let cool for 5 minutes and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

2. Assemble

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Unroll the crescent dough.
4. Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling on the wide end of each triangle.
5. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

3. Garlic Butter

Mix together:

• Melted butter
• Minced garlic

Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

• Ketchup
• Burger sauce
• Ranch dressing
• Garlic aioli
• Honey mustard
• Dill pickle slices
• French fries, potato wedges, or a crisp green salad

Tips

• Let the beef mixture cool slightly before filling the dough to keep it from becoming soggy.
• Press the dough seams together if using crescent triangles for sturdier rollups.
• For a bacon version, add 4–6 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon to the filling.
• Freeze unbaked rollups for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 5–8 minutes to the cooking time.
