Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 tube (16 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- ½ cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a clean workspace for the culinary adventure.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into fine crumbles and eliminating excess grease for a leaner filling.
- Infuse the beef with taco seasoning and water, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken, developing a robust flavor profile that will tantalize taste buds.
- On a flour-dusted surface, stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular canvas, ensuring an even thickness for consistent rolling.
- Distribute the seasoned beef across the dough, leaving a small perimeter to facilitate secure sealing during the rolling process.
- Generously scatter crispy bacon fragments and melted cheese over the beef, creating a decadent layer of savory ingredients.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long edge, transforming the flat surface into a tightly wound log, pressing the edges to prevent filling escape.
- Slice the log into uniform medallions, positioning them strategically on the prepared baking sheet.
- Craft a luxurious garlic butter by blending melted butter with minced garlic, then lovingly brush the rollups to enhance their golden potential.
- Bake until the exterior achieves a rich, bronzed appearance and the cheese melts into gooey perfection, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of vibrant color and serve immediately, accompanied by classic dipping sauces to elevate the dining experience.
Notes
- Customize meat selection by using ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier alternatives.
- Reduce sodium by choosing low-sodium taco seasoning or making homemade seasoning blend.
- Add extra nutrition by incorporating finely chopped spinach or bell peppers into the beef mixture for hidden vegetables.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like smoked gouda or pepper jack to elevate flavor complexity and create unique taste profiles.
