Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 preferred)
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 12 cloves fresh garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Pickles (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and chop into small pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, add ground beef and diced onion. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese once the mixture has cooled slightly.
  6. Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate into 16 triangles.
  7. Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides.
  8. Arrange rollups evenly on the prepared baking sheet, tip side down.
  9. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic (or garlic powder). Brush generously over the tops of each rollup. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and dough is cooked through. Check at 12 minutes.
  11. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra ketchup, mustard, or your favorite burger dipping sauce.

Notes

Don’t overfill the dough to prevent bursting. Pinch seams closed for best results. Filling can be made ahead and rollups assembled up to 4 hours in advance. For extra crispy bottoms, bake directly on the sheet for the last 2 minutes. Variations include using ground turkey, plant-based meat, or gluten-free dough. Serve warm with dipping sauces and pickles.
