Description
If you love cheeseburgers and crave something fun, quick, and incredibly satisfying, these Irresistible Garlic Butter Cheeseburger Rollups are the answer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 egg roll wrappers or large flour tortillas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Stir frequently until it’s browned and fully cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to drain any excess fat, allowing the ground beef to cool slightly before moving on to the next step.
- While the beef is cooking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes so the flavors can infuse; this step is key to achieving that delicious garlic flavor that will elevate your rollups.
- Now, it’s time to assemble! Lay out your egg roll wrappers or tortillas on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the cooked ground beef in the center of each wrapper, followed by a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. If you’re using parsley, sprinkle it over the cheese for a pop of color and flavor. The goal is to keep the filling in the center while leaving enough space to fold the wrappers.
- Once your filling is in place, fold the sides of the wrapper in towards the center. Then, roll tightly from the bottom up, sealing the edge with a little water (if using egg roll wrappers) to keep it secure. Ensure there are no gaps, as this will help keep the filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Take your garlic butter mixture and brush it generously over all sides of the assembled rollups. This will not only add flavor but also help achieve a beautiful golden color when cooked.
- You can either bake or pan-fry your rollups. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the outside. If you opt for pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet and fry the rollups on medium heat until they are crispy and browned on all sides, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
- After cooking, allow the rollups to cool for a few minutes. They will be steaming hot, so let them sit briefly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture!
Notes
For an extra cheesy version, add a layer of cheese on top of the beef mixture before folding.
