Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef & Bacon Mixture

  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
  3. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cheeseburger mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent roll shape.

Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter & Bake

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
  2. Brush the garlic butter over the tops of the rollups.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or BBQ sauce!
