Yield and Timing
This recipe serves 4 to 6 people.
Prep time is 15 minutes, with 30 minutes of baking time.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
- Optional: 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and seasoning, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll out the crescent roll dough or pizza dough into a rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the beef.
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough up into a log, tucking the filling inside. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg if using.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Slice and serve warm with a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, or a side of mashed potatoes. A dipping sauce like marinara or ranch pairs nicely on the side.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crisp.
