Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

this RECIPE

Thank you so much for being here—because this recipe? It’s everything we love about cheeseburgers, wrapped up in buttery, garlicky, golden dough. These Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups are the kind of snack that disappears in minutes. Perfect for game day, party trays, weeknight dinners with a twist, or late-night cravings.

I made these once with leftover burger fixings and now? I keep pizza dough in the fridge just so I can make them again. They’re fun to roll, easy to bake, and outrageously good dipped in ketchup and mustard. (Yes, dipping is mandatory.

These Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups are a handheld spin on a classic burger—stuffed with seasoned ground beef, crispy bacon, melty cheddar, and a pickle-y tang, all rolled up in soft pizza dough brushed with garlic butter. Baked to golden perfection and served with classic burger condiments, they’re everything you love about a cheeseburger—no grill required.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• ½ cup Cooked Bacon, crumbled
• ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• ¼ cup Diced Pickles
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• 1 Tube Refrigerated Pizza Dough
• ¼ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Ketchup & Mustard, for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat:

• Brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine:

• Cooked beef
• Crumbled bacon
• Cheddar cheese
• Diced pickles

Give it a good stir!

4. Roll It Up

• Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
• Evenly spread the cheeseburger filling over the dough.
• Starting from the long side, roll it up tightly into a log.
• Slice into 1.5-inch rounds and place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Garlic Butter Magic

• Mix melted butter with minced garlic.
• Brush each rollup generously with the garlic butter mixture.

6. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

7. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

• Want it spicier? Add a few chopped jalapeños to the filling.
• Prefer it saucy? Spread a thin layer of burger sauce or mayo-mustard on the dough before adding filling.
• You can swap the cheddar for American, Swiss, or a smoky gouda for fun flavor twists!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and refrigerate them up to 1 day in advance. Just bake fresh when ready to serve.

Can I use crescent dough instead of pizza dough?
Absolutely—crescent roll dough gives them a flakier texture. Just be gentle when rolling and slicing.

How do I keep the dough from getting soggy?
Let the beef cool before assembling, and don’t overstuff. Chilling the rolled dough briefly before slicing also helps.

Are these freezer-friendly?
Yep! Freeze unbaked rollups and bake from frozen (add 5–7 extra minutes) or bake, cool, and freeze individually.
