Pro Tips Before You Start
Let the cooked beef cool slightly before adding it to the dough.

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure crisp bottoms.
Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for the full burger vibe.
How to Make Cheeseburger Pizza Roll Ups
Step 1: Cook the Filling
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir in cooked, crumbled bacon.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Roll out refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
This will be your roll-up base, so keep the layer even.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Spread the beef and bacon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and diced pickles over the top.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from the long edge.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1-inch pieces.
Step 5: Bake
Place the rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
Brush each with melted butter mixed with minced garlic.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm with ketchup and mustard for dipping!
What to Serve It With
Classic potato wedges or fries
A crisp side salad or coleslaw
Pickle spears and sliced tomatoes
Ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce for dipping
Variations / Substitutions
Swap ground beef for turkey or plant-based meat
Use mozzarella instead of cheddar for a milder flavor
Add sautéed onions or mushrooms inside the roll
Try BBQ sauce instead of mustard for a smoky twist
Storage & Leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
Freeze unbaked rolls, then bake directly from frozen (add 3–5 mins).
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the rolls and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
Can I freeze the roll-ups?
Absolutely. Freeze before or after baking. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
What other cheese can I use?
Mozzarella, pepper jack, or American cheese all work well.
Do I need to cook the beef all the way before baking?
Yes. Fully cook the beef in the skillet first to ensure safe and even results.
Can I use crescent dough instead of pizza dough?
Yes, crescent dough will make them extra flaky and buttery!
How do I keep them from unrolling while baking?
Roll tightly and place seam-side down. You can also press the edges to seal.
What dipping sauces go best?
Classic ketchup and mustard, burger sauce, or even ranch dressing.
