How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Garlic Butter Rollups
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the crumbled bacon. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and spread it into a rectangle.
Step 4: Add the Fillings
Evenly spread the cooked beef and bacon mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles for that burger-style tang.
Step 5: Roll and Slice
Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, forming a tight log. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over each rollup to add a delicious garlic-butter crust.
Step 7: Bake Until Golden Brown
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with ketchup and mustard for dipping. Enjoy!
Expert Tips for Perfect Rollups
