Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Mix until the cheese melts into the beef mixture.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough (or pizza dough) on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent rolls, separate them into triangles. If using pizza dough, roll it into a large rectangle and cut into smaller squares.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spoon a generous amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto each piece of dough. Roll up the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
- Egg Wash: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional). Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
