Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef 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.
3. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
4. Spread the cooked beef and bacon mixture evenly over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced pickles.
5. Starting from one end, tightly roll up the pizza dough into a log, then slice it into 1-inch pieces.
6. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over each roll.
8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Best ways to enjoy it

These rollups are excellent on their own, but consider pairing them with a refreshing side salad or dipping veggies for a balanced meal. For a classic twist, serve them alongside French fries or sweet potato fries. A side of coleslaw can also add a delightful crunch and flavor contrast.

Helpful cooking tips

• Make it Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance, and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to roll up the dough.
• Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for an extra kick or mozzarella for a lighter flavor.
• Dough Tips: Use thinly rolled pizza dough for crispier rollups, and don’t forget to seal the ends to keep the filling from leaking out.

Creative twists

Looking to mix things up? Try adding your favorite toppings to the filling! Chopped jalapeños, diced onions, or even a touch of BBQ sauce can give a unique flavor to your rollups. For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with a plant-based alternative and keep the bacon out. You could also try different dipping sauces like ranch or buffalo sauce to add variety!
