Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced pickles

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Dough:

1 tube refrigerated pizza dough

For the Garlic Butter:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

For Garnish and Serving:

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Ketchup and mustard (for dipping)

Directions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and even baking.

Prepare the Filling

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the crumbled bacon and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before assembling.

Assemble the Rollups

Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle on a clean surface.

Spread the beef and bacon mixture evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles for that cheeseburger flair.

Starting at one end, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pieces.

Brush with Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic.

Place the roll-ups cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each roll-up generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Once baked, garnish the roll-ups with freshly chopped parsley.

Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.
