Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
🍳 Step 2: Cook the Beef and Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned. Season with salt and pepper and mix in the crumbled bacon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the beef and bacon mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles for that classic cheeseburger flavor.

🧄 Step 5: Add Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter over each roll-up for extra flavor.
🔥 Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
🌿 Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Rollups
✔ Use Fresh Dough: Refrigerated pizza dough works great, but fresh dough from a bakery adds even more flavor.
✔ Customize Your Fillings: Add jalapeños for spice or swap cheddar for mozzarella.
✔ Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I use crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough?
Yes! Crescent roll dough gives a softer, flakier texture, while pizza dough creates a crispier rollup. Both work great!
2. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to keep them crispy.
3. Can I freeze these rollups?
Absolutely! Freeze unbaked rollups on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, cook them straight from the freezer at 375°F (190°C) for an extra 5 minutes.
4. What other cheeses can I use?
Mozzarella, Swiss, Gouda, or Pepper Jack cheese all taste amazing in this recipe. Feel free to mix and match!
5. Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the ground beef for plant-based crumbles or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
