👩🍳 How to Make Cheeseburger Rollups
1. Cook the beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any extra grease to avoid soggy dough.
2. Roll out the dough:
On a floured surface, unroll your pizza dough into a rectangle. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Layer the filling:
Spoon the seasoned beef over the cheddar. Scatter mozzarella cheese over the top for that perfect melt.
4. Roll & seal:
Starting at one short end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam shut so the cheese doesn’t escape while baking.
5. Add garlic butter:
Melt butter and stir in finely minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter generously over the top of the rolled dough.
6. Bake:
Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake according to the pizza dough’s package instructions—typically at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
7. Slice & serve:
Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into pinwheels. Serve warm with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite burger-style dipping sauce.
🍔 Pro Tips
- Customize it: Add pickles, sautéed onions, or even crumbled bacon inside for extra burger flair.
- Make it spicy: Toss in jalapeños or hot sauce if you like heat.
- Prep ahead: Assemble earlier in the day and bake just before serving.
