Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
Instructions
- Prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the minced garlic and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Remove excess fat if necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven. Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the roll-ups, ensuring a crisp golden crust.
- Roll out the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large rectangle.
- Assemble the roll-ups. Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the dough, then sprinkle the grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Form the roll. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Slice and place. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake to perfection. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the roll-ups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Notes
- You can add marinara sauce on the side for dipping the roll-ups.
- Feel free to add finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano in place of parsley for a different taste profile.
- Ensure the beef mixture is not too wet to prevent soggy dough.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
