Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 250 g (8 oz) lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup softened cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Ingredient Tips

Ground Beef

Lean ground beef works best because it provides plenty of flavor while reducing excess grease. If the meat releases a lot of fat during cooking, drain it well before adding the cheeses.

Mozzarella Cheese

Mozzarella creates the classic stretchy cheese pull everyone loves. For extra flavor, mix mozzarella with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or provolone.

Cream Cheese

Softened cream cheese blends easily with the warm beef, creating a smooth, creamy filling that stays moist after baking.

Crescent Roll Dough

Keep the dough refrigerated until you're ready to use it. Cold dough is much easier to separate and roll without becoming sticky.

Before assembling the rolls, discover the simple preparation techniques that guarantee perfectly flaky pastry and prevent the filling from leaking while baking.
