Best ways to enjoy it
These Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups are delicious on their own, but you can elevate your serving game easily! Consider pairing them with a side of crispy french fries or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They also make a fantastic appetizer at parties—just cut them into bite-sized pieces for sharing. Don’t forget a side of dipping sauces like ketchup or barbecue sauce!
How to store
To keep your rollups fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to save them longer, you can freeze the rollups right after rolling them, before baking. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
Helpful cooking tips
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat and calories.
- Don’t overfill the rollups, or they might burst open while baking.
- For a touch of heat, add some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
- Experiment with different types of cheese—I love adding pepper jack for an extra kick!
