Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mozzarella cheese (grated)
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Base:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal baking temperature.
- Sauté ground beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until meat browns and onions become translucent, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Remove excess grease from the beef mixture and transfer to a mixing bowl to cool slightly.
- Incorporate cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper into the cooled beef mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Spread pizza dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface, creating a smooth, even base.
- Distribute the seasoned beef and cheese filling uniformly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight cylindrical log with the filling enclosed.
- Slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick sections, revealing the spiral of meat and cheese inside.
- Arrange the rolled pieces cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese becomes bubbly and slightly crisp.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Replace traditional pizza dough with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives for dietary restrictions.
- Try different cheese combinations like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline the cooking process and make meal preparation easier.
