A Brief History of Cheeseburgers in Modern Cuisine
The cheeseburger, a cornerstone of American cuisine, originated in the early 20th century. Its evolution has led to endless variations, with bacon often hailed as the ultimate upgrade. Inspired by this beloved classic, these rollups take the cheeseburger experience to the next level by making it portable, snackable, and infused with rich garlic butter flavors.
Ingredients
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
1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Ketchup and mustard (for dipping)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the crumbled bacon. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Roll the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a flat surface.
Evenly spread the cooked beef and bacon mixture over the dough.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles across the top.
Step 3: Form the Rollups
Starting at one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the rollups on the prepared sheet, leaving space between each piece.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the garlic butter generously over each roll-up.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
