Cheesy Beefy Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • Sesame seeds or Italian seasoning (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the beef:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Season the beef:
    • Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors meld for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the dough:
    • Unroll the crescent roll or pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. If using crescent rolls, separate the dough into individual triangles. If using pizza dough, cut it into 8 equal rectangles.
  5. Fill the rolls:
    • Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the wide end of each triangle or the center of each rectangle. Sprinkle a good handful of shredded cheese over the beef. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the edges to seal. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Add finishing touches:
    • Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
  8. Serve:
    • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best cheesy, beefy experience!

Tips for the Best Cheesy Beefy Rolls:

  • Use Your Favorite Cheese: While cheddar is a great choice, you can mix things up with mozzarella, pepper jack, or even a blend of cheeses.
  • Add Veggies: To make these rolls even heartier, add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the beef mixture.
  • Dip It: Serve these rolls with a side of ketchup, ranch, or marinara sauce for dipping.
