Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb (450g) halal ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a mix of cheddar & mozzarella
  • 1 can refrigerated halal pizza dough or crescent dough sheet
  • 3 tablespoons halal butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Lightly floured surface

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb of halal ground beef with 1 small finely diced onion until the beef is thoroughly browned.
  3. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the beef. Stir in 1 tablespoon ketchup and 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, cooking for another minute or two. Then remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Roll out the can of refrigerated halal pizza dough (or crescent dough sheet) on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Evenly spread the beef mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your cheddar-mozzarella mix) evenly over the beef layer. Starting at the long edge, roll up the dough tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick to create pinwheel shapes.
  6. Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them with a mixture of 3 tablespoons melted halal butter and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. If desired, sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried parsley on top for a pop of color.
  7. Bake the rollups in the preheated oven until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

These Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups are a creative twist on the classic cheeseburger, ideal for parties, game days, or a fun weeknight dinner. The recipe is versatile, allowing you to substitute ground beef with turkey, chicken, or even plant-based crumbles, and experiment with different cheeses to suit your taste. For best results, prepare ahead and store leftovers in the refrigerator, then reheat in the oven to maintain their crispy exterior and melty filling.
