Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups
450kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or your choice of cheese
- 6-8 flour tortillas or pizza dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- Salt pepper, and other seasonings of choice (like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika)
Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan
- Small saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Toothpicks (optional for securing rollups)
Method
- Cook the Ground Beef and Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Drain excess fat. In another pan, fry the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, chop the bacon into small bits. Set both the beef and bacon aside to cool.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the pan from heat and let the garlic butter cool slightly.
- Assemble the Rollups: Lay a tortilla or dough sheet flat. Brush a thin layer of garlic butter on the surface, then add a generous amount of cooked ground beef, bacon bits, and shredded cheese. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to keep the filling inside. Secure the rollup with toothpicks if necessary.
- Bake the Rollups: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rollups on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Serve: Slice the rollups into bite-sized portions and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (such as ranch, BBQ sauce, or garlic sauce). Enjoy!
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to add ingredients like sautéed onions, pickles, jalapeños, or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like mozzarella or pepper jack, to add a new twist.
- Gluten-Free Option: If you need a gluten-free version, you can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas or use gluten-free pizza dough.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the rollups ahead of time by assembling them and storing them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Bake them just before serving for the best results.
- Crispier Rollups: For a crispier finish, brush the outside of the rollups with a little extra garlic butter before baking. This will give them a golden-brown, buttery exterior.
