Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar & mozzarella)

For the Dough & Topping

1 can refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent dough sheet)
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned and fully cooked. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, then stir in ketchup and mustard. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove from heat.
Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle to create an even surface for the filling.
Assemble rollups: Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the dough rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of the beef mixture. Starting at the long edge of the dough, roll it up tightly into a log shape.
Slice the rollups: Cut the rolled log into 1 to 1.5-inch thick slices, creating pinwheel-shaped pieces.
Bake: Place the rollups cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each piece. Brush the tops with the melted butter mixed with garlic powder to enhance flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Finish and serve: After baking, optionally brush the rollups with extra garlic butter. Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish, then serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute the shredded cheddar cheese with a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for a stretchier texture.
Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to prevent uneven baking.
For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
These rollups are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crunch.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
