Ingredients Breakdown
Here’s what makes these rollups irresistible:

- Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika) – A simple blend that turns ground beef into a cheeseburger masterpiece.
- Shredded cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully, but feel free to experiment with mozzarella, provolone, or a sharp cheese mix.
- Crescent roll or pizza dough sheets – Flaky and golden when baked, the perfect wrap.
- Garlic butter (melted butter + minced garlic + parsley) – Brushed on top for a rich, bakery-style finish.
Optional add-ins: caramelized onions, pickles, jalapeños, or even a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
