Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb ground beef
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 small onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Cook the Beef Mixture:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Assemble the Rollups:
Spoon a small amount of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Top with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and tucking in the filling as you go.
Bake the Rollups:
Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
Let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

8. What’s the best way to cook bacon for this recipe?

Cook bacon in a skillet, in the oven, or use pre-cooked bacon for convenience.
