Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1.5 cups (1.5 cups / 240 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons (4 tablespoons / 56 grams) unsalted butter
Seasonings and Dough:
- 1 packet (1 ounce / 28 grams) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup (1/2 cup / 120 milliliters) water
- 1 tube (16 ounces / 454 grams) refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon / 15 milliliters) fresh parsley
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef in a skillet, draining excess fat, then incorporate taco seasoning and water. Allow mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens and develops robust flavor.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick cooking.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch pizza dough into a rectangular shape measuring approximately 10×15 inches, ensuring even thickness throughout.
- Distribute the seasoned beef evenly across the dough, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent filling from leaking during rolling.
- Strategically layer crispy bacon pieces and shredded cheese over the beef, creating a harmonious blend of savory ingredients.
- Carefully roll the dough from the longest side, creating a compact log. Seal the edges by pinching them together to secure the filling.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick segments, revealing the spiraled interior.
- Arrange the rollups on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between pieces.
- Combine melted butter with minced garlic, then generously brush the mixture over the surface of each rollup for added flavor and golden sheen.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the rollups transform into a golden-brown color and the cheese becomes irresistibly melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Ground turkey or plant-based crumbles work wonderfully for a leaner or vegetarian version of these rollups.
- Add diced jalapeños or green chiles to the beef mixture for extra spicy kick and depth of flavor.
- Prepare rollups in advance and refrigerate, then bake when ready to serve for convenient meal planning.
- Swap pizza dough with gluten-free alternatives like cauliflower crust or low-carb tortillas to accommodate dietary restrictions.
