Ingredients
Scale
Beef Rollups
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for flavor and juiciness)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
Garlic Butter Glaze
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley (or fresh parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Pickles (sliced)
- Fresh lettuce or greens
- Extra shredded cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup after baking.
- Prepare the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it begins to brown. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking together until the beef is fully browned and the onions soften, about 6-7 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the warm beef mixture.
- Form the rollups: On a clean surface or parchment paper, take a few tablespoons of the beef-cheese mixture and form small, flat patties approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Carefully roll each patty into a tight cylinder shape, securing with a toothpick if necessary to hold them together.
- Make the garlic butter glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the dried parsley and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Bake the rollups: Arrange the beef rollups on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each with the garlic butter glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
- Serve: Optionally, top the rollups with extra shredded cheese and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt. Serve warm with sliced pickles, fresh greens, or your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or ketchup.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add finely chopped bacon or mushrooms into the beef mixture before cooking.
- To make it even lower carb, use lettuce leaves as wraps instead of rolling into cylinders.
- Try different cheeses like Swiss, pepper jack, or provolone for varied flavors.
- Add chopped jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to spice up the rollups.
