Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 for a juicy but not greasy filling
- 6 slices bacon cooked crisp and chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 8 to 10 medium flour tortillas or 2 cans crescent roll dough
Instructions
1. Cook the bacon
- Place the bacon in a pan over medium heat.
- Cook until the strips turn crisp.
- Set them on a paper towel to drain, then chop into small pieces.
2. Cook the ground beef
- Add the ground beef to the same pan.
- Break it up with a spatula.
- Cook until no pink remains.
- Drain the excess fat so the rollups don’t become soggy.
3. Season the filling
- Add the chopped bacon back into the pan with the beef.
- Stir in salt, pepper, or any simple seasoning you like.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
4. Make the garlic butter
- Melt the butter in a small bowl.
- Mix in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.
- Brush a thin layer on each tortilla or crescent sheet.
- This adds flavor and helps the rollups brown.
5. Add the cheese
- Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over each tortilla or dough sheet.
- Use enough to cover the surface but leave a small border at the edges.
- This helps the rollups seal better.
6. Add the beef mixture
- Spoon a thin line of beef and bacon along one side of each tortilla.
- Don’t overfill. Too much filling will make rolling hard and messy.
7. Roll them up
- Start from the filled edge.
- Roll tightly to keep everything in place.
- If using crescent dough, pinch any open seams.
8. Brush with more garlic butter
- Place the rollups seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with more garlic butter.
- This helps them brown and adds extra flavor.
9. Bake
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and crisp.
- The cheese should melt fully inside.
10. Slice and serve
- Let them cool for 2 minutes.
- Slice into halves or small pinwheels if you want bite-sized pieces.
- Serve warm with ranch, marinara, or any dipping sauce you like.
