What Are Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups?
These rollups are a fun twist on the traditional cheeseburger. Instead of serving ground beef in a bun, you cook it with onions and seasoning, combine it with cheese and crispy bacon, then roll it all up in crescent dough. Each bundle is brushed with melted garlic butter and baked until golden brown.
Think of it as a fusion between a cheeseburger and garlic rolls—ooey-gooey, flaky, and loaded with flavor. You get the rich taste of a Butter Burger with the soft pull-apart texture of a garlic cheese bread.
Ingredients List for Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups
Here’s everything you need to bring this deliciousness to life:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups: Step-by-Step Guide
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced onion until soft (about 2–3 minutes). Add ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
- Mix in cheese and bacon: Remove pan from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar and chopped bacon until cheese starts to melt and everything is well combined.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Spoon a small amount of the meat mixture onto the wide end of each triangle and roll tightly into crescent shapes.
- Make garlic butter: Mix melted butter with minced garlic in a small bowl.
- Brush and bake: Place rolls on the baking sheet. Brush with garlic butter and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve hot: Best enjoyed warm with a side of dipping sauce or served next to a crisp Cucumber Dill Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Tools & Equipment You’ll Need

- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Small bowl for garlic butter
- Pastry brush
- Knife and cutting board
These tools are all simple and likely already in your kitchen.
Expert Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Rollups Every Time
- Use lean beef: It reduces excess grease, making your rollups crispier.
- Let the filling cool slightly before adding to the dough to prevent sogginess.
- Press edges of the crescent rolls together if they separate—this keeps the filling inside.
- Add jalapeños or pickles inside for extra flavor.
- Try garlic cheese topping for an extra cheesy crust—just sprinkle a bit of mozzarella over the garlic butter before baking.
Variations and Substitutions to Try
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for different cheese flavors.
- Use turkey or plant-based ground meat for a lighter option.
- Make them spicy by adding diced jalapeños to the beef.
- Go mini: Cut each crescent triangle in half to make bite-size versions—great for parties.
- You could also serve them alongside Pumpkin Twists for a fun sweet-and-savory combo at your next gathering.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overfilling the dough: Too much filling can lead to bursting during baking.
- Undercooking the beef: Ensure it’s fully cooked before rolling.
- Skipping the garlic butter topping: This adds flavor and golden color.
- Not sealing edges properly: This can cause cheese and filling to ooze out.
Serving Suggestions and Presentation Ideas
These rollups look best served on a wooden board with a dipping sauce trio: ketchup, mustard, and a garlic aioli. Garnish with parsley or shredded lettuce if desired.
They also pair well with:
- Garlicky Kale with White Beans and Lemon
- Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs
- Crockpot Taco Dip for your appetizer table
Add a festive twist by pairing them with themed dishes like Halloween Snack Mix or Snake Charmers Pretzels for spooky season parties.
