Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger (Printable Version)

Buttery crescent dough wraps savory beef, cheddar, cream cheese, and garlic for a warm, cheesy handheld delight.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat and Seasoning

01 - 450 grams ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 - 2 grams garlic powder
03 - 2 grams onion powder
04 - 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
05 - 3 grams salt
06 - 2 grams freshly cracked black pepper

→ Cheese and Dairy

07 - 110 grams cream cheese, softened
08 - 85 grams shredded sharp cheddar cheese
09 - 30 grams unsalted butter, melted

→ Dough and Toppings

10 - 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 280 grams)
11 - 4 grams fresh garlic, minced
12 - 5 grams fresh parsley, chopped

# Steps:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef for approximately seven minutes until fully browned. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper during cooking. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.
02 - Transfer the warm ground beef to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Mix thoroughly until the cheeses melt and evenly coat the beef, creating a cohesive filling.
03 - Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate carefully into individual triangles, handling quickly to keep dough cold for optimal puffiness.
04 - Place a spoonful of beef and cheese filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll tightly towards the narrow end, ensuring seams are sealed on the bottom to prevent leakage.
05 - Combine melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the mixture generously over the tops and sides of each assembled rollup for enhanced flavor and sheen.
06 - Arrange rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, monitoring to achieve even coloring.
07 - Allow rollups to rest for a few minutes post-baking. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm for best flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal results, allow the beef mixture to cool slightly before filling the dough to prevent melting and leakage. Brushing garlic butter both before and after baking intensifies flavor and shine. These rollups reheat well in ovens or air fryers and can be frozen for later use.
