I reach for this recipe when comfort food calls but I’m not in the mood to fire up the grill or prep endless toppings. It’s a game night favorite, and last time I made it, even the “I don’t like burgers” crowd came back for seconds. The garlic butter? That’s the secret weapon—it fills the house with the kind of smell that makes everyone hover near the oven.

🛒 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Purpose & Tips |
|---|---|
| Ground beef | Rich, savory base—choose beef with a little fat for extra juiciness. |

| Salt & pepper | Essential for balance—don’t skip these. |
| Cheddar cheese | Sharp and bold—this forms the first cheesy layer. |
| Mozzarella cheese | Adds that gooey, stretchy pull everyone loves. |

| Butter + garlic | Brushed on top for a golden, aromatic crust. |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the beef
Brown ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess grease to keep the rollups crisp, not soggy. - Prepare the dough
Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly, leaving a small border around the edges. - Add the beef
Spoon the seasoned beef over the cheddar layer. Top with mozzarella for that perfect cheese pull. - Roll it up
Starting from the short side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal in the cheese. - Brush with garlic butter
Melt butter, stir in minced garlic, and brush generously over the roll. - Bake
Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at the temperature listed on your dough package (usually 375°F/190°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden and bubbly. - Slice & serve
Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces—ketchup, ranch, or even burger sauce.
