Ingredients
For the Beef Filling:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 is perfect for flavor)
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for extra melt factor)
1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped and patted dry
2 tbsp bacon bits (optional but recommended)
For the Garlic Butter:
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt
For Serving:
Extra ketchup and mustard for dipping
Ranch dressing (trust me on this)
Pickles on the side
Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion together, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
When beef is browned and onion is soft (about 8 minutes), add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Drain excess grease from the pan (leave just a little for flavor).
Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and all the seasonings.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let flavors meld.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly (you don’t want to melt the dough!).
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
On each triangle, place about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture toward the wide end.
Top with a good pinch of both cheeses, a few pickle pieces, and bacon bits if using.
Don’t overfill or they’ll be impossible to roll!
Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle toward the point.
Pinch the edges to seal in all that cheesy goodness.
Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Curve them slightly into a crescent shape if you’re feeling fancy.
Mix melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, and salt.
Brush generously over each rollup before baking.
Save some garlic butter for brushing again after baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
They should look like little golden pillows of heaven.
Remove from oven and immediately brush with remaining garlic butter.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you’re going for that burger bun aesthetic.
Let cool for 2-3 minutes (molten cheese warning!).
Serve with ketchup, mustard, and ranch for dipping.
Watch people fight over the last one.
Notes
Serve with sweet potato fries or regular fries for the full burger experience.
A simple side salad makes this feel like a complete meal.
Perfect finger food for parties — just make a double batch.
