Ingredients

Scale

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)

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 finely diced onion until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, then stir in the ketchup and yellow mustard. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to combine flavors, then remove the skillet from heat.
Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape to create an even surface for assembling the rollups.
Assemble rollups: Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef layer. Starting from the long edge of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log shape to enclose the filling.
Slice rollups: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough log into pieces approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick, creating pinwheel-shaped rollups.
Bake: Place the rollups cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each piece. Mix melted butter with garlic powder, then brush this garlic butter generously over the tops of each rollup. Bake the tray in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and cooked through.
Finish & serve: Optionally, brush the tops again with extra garlic butter right after baking for added flavor and shine. Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish and serve the rollups warm as a delicious appetizer or meal.

Notes

You can substitute the pizza dough with crescent dough sheets for a different texture.
For extra cheesiness, add a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
The rollups are best served warm but can be stored in the fridge and reheated later.
Adding chopped pickles or sautéed mushrooms to the filling can enhance the flavor.
If using crescent dough, be careful not to overroll as it is thinner and more delicate.
