Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
Preparation:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or the temperature specified on your pizza dough package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Step 3: Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Step 4: Season the cooked ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Step 5: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Step 7: Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the cheddar cheese layer.
Step 8: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ground beef layer.
Step 9: Starting from one of the long ends, tightly roll the dough into a log, enclosing the filling inside. Pinch the seam to seal.
Step 10: Slice the roll into approximately 1-inch thick slices.
Step 11: Arrange the rollups on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 12: Brush the melted butter evenly over the top of each rollup.
Step 13: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 14: Let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving.
