Introduction:
Cheesy Beefy Rolls are the perfect combination of savory beef, gooey melted cheese, and soft, pillowy rolls. These handheld delights make an excellent appetizer, snack, or even a quick weeknight dinner. Packed with seasoned ground beef and smothered in cheese, these rolls are baked to golden perfection, offering a warm, comforting bite that’s sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Ingredients (For 8 Rolls):
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or your preferred seasoning mix)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade dough)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- ½ cup diced onions (optional)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers (if using), and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Beef:
- Stir in the taco seasoning or preferred spices according to the packet directions or your taste. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Remove from heat and allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the seasoned beef mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the beef.
- Roll and Seal:
- Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush and Bake:
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to help them brown and achieve a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm. These rolls pair well with sour cream, salsa, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips for Success:
- Don’t overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the rolls with too much beef and cheese, as it can make the dough difficult to seal.
- Customize the filling: Add in your favorite veggies like diced jalapeños for extra spice, or mix in black beans or corn for added texture.
- Cheese variety: Try different cheeses like pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for different flavor profiles.
Recommendation:
Serve these Cheesy Beefy Rolls with sides of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping. They make a perfect game-day snack, party appetizer, or a fun twist on taco night. These rolls are versatile, easy to prepare, and sure to please any crowd!
