Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Roll-ups Recipe!
Ingredients:
For the Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon (Optional) dried oregano
- Bacon, 6 slices cooked till crisp, cut
- 1 cup of arabesque pasta sauce (or pasta blend sauce)
For the Roll‑ups

- 3 tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Optional Toppings or Add‑Ins

Instruction:
Step 1: Preparation of Beef Filling
Start by heating a skillet on a medium level. Oil and drop in the ground beef and fry, stirring it as it fries. After the majority of the fat has melted, put in the diced onion and cook 2–3 minutes till it gets soft.
Add in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and oregano. Cook one more minute till fragrant. Take off the fire and leave the mixture to cool down. It is necessary to cool the dough to ensure that the dough is not too soft when assembling.
Step 2: Add Bacon and Cheese
After the mixture of beef cools, add the chopped crisp bacon and shredded cheese. The filling should be mixed so that there is an equal amount of cheese in the filling and this is to ensure that each roll-up gets a bite of cheese.
Step 3: Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Prepare a baking sheet using parchment paper.
Roll the crescent dough/puff pastry on a clean surface. In case of crescent roll, one needs to flatten the seams together to make it a solid sheet. Divide the dough into rectangles or triangles based on the size of the desired roll-up.
Step 4: Assemble the Roll‑ups
Spoon a liberal portion of the mixture of beef and bacon on the middle of each piece of dough. Care should be taken not to fill up because this will aid avoidance of leaking during baking.
Roll the dough inwards and roundwards of stuffing it, pressing in the sides where required. Roll each roll-up on the ready baking sheet seam-side down.
Step 5: Brush with Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, melted butter with parsley dried powdered, and garlic. Brush off this mixture over top of roll ups abundantly. This process gives the pastry the flavor and helps it gain a golden crisp surface.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Put the roll-ups in the preheated oven and bake it within 18–22 minutes, or the pastry is puffed and a deep golden color. The interior cheese must be melting and bubbly.
Take out of the oven and leave them to cool down a few minutes and then serve.
Serving Suggestions:
These roll-ups are delicious in themselves, but go well with basic sides and sauces. Consider serving them with:
- A small portion of ketchup, mustard or burger sauce
- Oven fried or potato wedges

They are also good as party foods — cut each roll-up into half to make sizeable bites.
Tips for Best Results:
- To ensure that the pastry is not soggy, drain as much grease as possible off the beef
- Give the filling a time to cool a bit to hold the structure of the dough
