Why You’ll Love This Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups Recipe
Garlic butter meets cheeseburgers in the most genius way. What you get is a savory, flaky roll with a cheesy, beefy center that practically melts in your mouth. It takes classic comfort food and gives it a twist that’s great for sharing or serving at parties.
You only need a few simple ingredients and about 30 minutes to make a batch. They’re easy to prep ahead and taste amazing reheated, too.
What Kind of Dough Should I Use for Rollups?
Refrigerated crescent roll dough is the go-to here. It’s soft, buttery, and bakes into that perfect golden-brown crust without any hassle. If you’re feeling fancy, you can swap it for puff pastry for a flakier finish, but crescent rolls keep it classic and cozy. Just be sure to press the seams together before filling so nothing leaks out during baking.
Ingredients for the Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
This recipe keeps things super simple and satisfying. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ground beef – The heart of the rollup, seasoned and browned to juicy perfection.
Cheddar cheese – Sharp and melty, it gives every bite that classic cheeseburger flavor.
Refrigerated crescent roll dough – Easy to use and the perfect vessel for all that savory filling.
Garlic powder – Blended with butter to infuse the tops with irresistible flavor.
Butter – Melted and brushed on top for that rich, golden finish.
Salt and pepper – Simple seasoning to enhance the beef without overpowering it.

How To Make the Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Mixture
Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess grease and stir in a sprinkle of garlic powder. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Prep the Dough
Unroll your crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet. Separate into triangles and gently press the seams if needed.
Step 3: Fill and Roll
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooled beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Top with a small chunk or pinch of cheddar cheese, then roll each one up toward the tip, tucking in the sides slightly.
Step 4: Butter and Bake
Melt the butter and mix in more garlic powder. Brush each rollup generously with garlic butter, then bake at 375°F for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Serve them hot out of the oven with your favorite burger dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or even a little ranch.
How to Store and Serve Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups
These rollups are best served fresh from the oven, when the cheese is gooey and the tops are golden. But they store surprisingly well! You can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop them in a toaster oven or microwave until warm.
This recipe makes about 8 rollups, depending on the dough brand, and it’s perfect for feeding a small crowd or a hungry family of 3 to 4.
