Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 oz cheddar cheese
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp butter
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even heat distribution for optimal cooking.
- In a large skillet, crisp the bacon over medium-high heat until golden and slightly crunchy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Using the same skillet, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles and seasoning with salt and black pepper until no pink remains.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely and melt butter in a small saucepan, creating a fragrant garlic butter mixture.
- Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a clean work surface, stretching it gently to create a uniform rectangular shape.
- Brush the entire surface of the dough with the garlic butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Crumble the crispy bacon and shred the cheddar cheese, then distribute them evenly across the dough’s surface.
- Sprinkle dried parsley over the meat and cheese layer for an additional layer of flavor.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a compact log-like shape.
- Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick rounds, arranging them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk the egg and gently brush the top of each rollup to create a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the rollups are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving these savory, cheesy rollups.
Notes
- Ensure bacon is crispy but not burnt by cooking over medium-high heat and draining excess grease on paper towels.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excessive fat and create a cleaner, more balanced flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique taste variations.
- Customize rollups for dietary needs by using gluten-free pizza dough or turkey bacon for lighter options.
