Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

1. Cook the Filling

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.

Drain off any excess grease, then stir in the ketchup and mustard (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. (The cheese will start to melt slightly, binding everything together—yum!)

2. Prep the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out the creases.

Spread the beef mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.

Starting at one end, roll it up tightly like a jelly roll. Place it seam side down.

Slice into 8 equal pinwheels and arrange them cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Egg Wash & Bake

Beat the egg and brush each rollup lightly to help them turn beautifully golden.

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

4. Add the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. As soon as the rollups come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter.

Trust me—the smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!

What to Serve with Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger Rollups

• Dipping sauces – Ranch, ketchup, spicy mayo, or a tangy burger sauce.
• Side salad – A simple arugula or romaine salad with vinaigrette.
• Potato wedges or fries – Classic pairing!
• Pickles or coleslaw – Add that crunchy, zippy contrast.

Tips for Perfect Rollups

• Don’t overfill the pastry—it makes rolling tricky and can cause leaks.
• Make sure the beef mixture isn’t too hot or it will melt the pastry.
• Slice with a sharp serrated knife for clean edges.
• Chill the roll before slicing if it’s too soft or sticky.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
• Freezer – Freeze baked or unbaked rollups. To freeze baked, cool completely and wrap tightly. Reheat from frozen at 375°F until hot.
