⏱ Recipe Details:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8 rolls
🛒 What You’ll Need:
For the Filling:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional but so good!)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
For the Rolls:
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp dried parsley (optional, but adds a nice touch!)
👩🍳 Let’s Make It!
Preheat & Prep: Fire up that oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Season & Mix: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, ketchup, and mustard. Let it cook for another minute or two, then take it off the heat.
Add the Cheese: Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese while the beef is still warm so it gets all melty and delicious.
Assemble the Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon some of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and roll it up towards the pointed end.
Bake: Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until beautifully golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool for just a bit before diving in. These go great with a side salad, dipping sauce, or just as they are!
🔥 Pro Tips & Tricks:
Want some heat? Toss in some diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Switch up the cheese! Mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss would all be amazing here.
Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
Make it a meal! Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted veggies to balance out the richness.
