Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups (Print Version)

Ground beef mixed with bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and seasonings, spread on pizza dough, rolled up, sliced, brushed with garlic butter, and baked until golden.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Filling

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ For Assembly

10 - 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (13.8 oz)
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Drain any excess grease.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
04 - Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface into a rectangular shape - about 12x15 inches works well.
05 - Spread the beef and cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around all the edges so you can seal it later.
06 - Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal it closed so the filling doesn't leak out.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 even pieces - about 1 inch thick each. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
08 - In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the top of each rollup.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
10 - Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These are amazing warm and perfect for game day!

# Notes:

01 - Make sure to seal the edges really well when rolling so the filling doesn't leak out during baking.
02 - Let the beef mixture cool slightly before spreading on the dough - if it's too hot, it can make the dough soggy.
03 - Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the log cleanly without squishing it.
04 - The garlic butter coating adds amazing flavor and helps them get golden and crispy.
05 - These are perfect for parties, game day, or any time you want handheld bacon cheeseburger goodness!
06 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
