How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups – Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Step 2: Add Bacon and Cheeses

Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped turkey bacon, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar. Mix until everything is fully combined and melty. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Prep the Dough

Unroll crescent rolls and separate into triangles. Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides if needed.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place rollups on a lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush over each rollup generously.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with dried parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or a side salad.

Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups– The Secret Weapon

The addition of cream cheese in these cream cheese crescent rolls brings richness, moisture, and a little tang that takes them from good to great. It also helps bind the filling together, preventing that dreaded “fall apart” mess you sometimes get with other roll-up recipes.

You can also add a sprinkle of garlic cheese seasoning before baking for an extra kick.
