Ingredients
  

Filling

Instructions
 

Cooking Filling

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until browned.

  • Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes before removing from heat.

Preparing Dough

  • Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

Assembling Rollups

  • Spread the beef mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  • Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log.
  • Slice into 1 to 1.5-inch thick pieces (like pinwheels).

Baking

  • Place rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.

Notes

To keep leftover rollups fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For freezing, wrap each piece in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. Bake straight from the freezer, adding extra cooking time as needed.
