Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Dough and Seasonings:
- 1 tube (16 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat and transform the ground beef into crumbly, caramelized morsels. Eliminate excess grease, then infuse with taco seasoning and liquid, allowing the mixture to thicken and develop rich flavors for approximately 5 minutes.
- Warm the oven to 375F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular canvas, ensuring a light dusting of flour prevents sticking.
- Artfully distribute the seasoned beef across the dough’s surface, leaving a delicate border. Cascade crispy bacon fragments and melted cheese generously over the meat landscape.
- Carefully roll the dough into a compact log, sealing the edges with precision to prevent filling escape. Slice the rolled creation into uniform medallions, revealing spiraled inner treasures.
- Merge melted butter with aromatic garlic, creating a luxurious glaze. Tenderly brush the rollup tops, ensuring each piece glistens with flavor potential.
- Slide the rollups into the heated oven, transforming them into golden, bubbling delicacies. Bake until edges turn crisp and cheese melts into molten pools.
- Emerge with a final flourish of fresh parsley. Present alongside complementary dipping sauces, inviting guests to indulge in these handheld flavor adventures.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian option.
- Ensure the beef is well-drained to prevent soggy rollups and maintain a crisp texture.
- Create uniform slices by using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean, precise cuts.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor complexity.
