Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups-Everything You Love About a Cheeseburger—Wrapped in Golden Puff Pastry

Introduction

These Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups are a fun, handheld twist on the classic cheeseburger. Instead of buns, we’re using flaky puff pastry to wrap up seasoned ground beef, crispy bacon, melty cheddar, and a hint of garlic butter. The result? A golden, buttery rollup that’s packed with flavor and perfect for dipping, sharing, or devouring solo.

Whether you’re hosting game night, prepping a party platter, or just craving something indulgent, these rollups deliver big taste in a small package.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped
  • 2 tbsp garlic butter (melted butter mixed with minced garlic)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley, sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in ketchup, mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Fold in chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 6–8 rectangles, depending on desired size.

Step 4: Fill and Roll
Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each pastry rectangle. Roll up tightly like a burrito or pinwheel, sealing the edges.
Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 5: Brush with Garlic Butter
Brush each rollup generously with garlic butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or parsley if desired.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Let the filling cool before rolling to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and ensure even browning.
  • Customize the cheese—try pepper jack or mozzarella for a twist.
  • Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 4 hours before baking.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ, or spicy ketchup.
  • Pair with fries, slaw, or a crisp salad.
  • Make mini versions for party platters or appetizers.
  • Add pickles or jalapeños to the filling for extra zing.

Variations to Try

  • Crescent Dough Swap: Use crescent roll dough for a softer texture.
  • Mushroom Lover’s: Add sautéed mushrooms to the filling.
  • Breakfast Rollups: Add scrambled eggs and swap beef for sausage.
  • Veggie Version: Use plant-based meat and skip the bacon.

storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Freeze unbaked rollups for up to 1 month—bake straight from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes.
