Easy, delicious crescent roll cheeseburger bites filled with a creamy, cheesy beef mixture and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for parties, game day, or a fun family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Remove from heat. Add softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheeses are melted and smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Let the filling cool slightly.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 16 triangles.
  8. Place a spoonful (1-2 tablespoons) of cheeseburger filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
  9. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point. Pinch edges to seal.
  10. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Brush the tops of the crescent roll bites with melted butter.
  12. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  13. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is heated through.
  14. Cool slightly before serving.
  15. Serve with your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, and tomato. Great with dipping sauces like ranch or BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the crescent rolls to prevent bursting.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
  • Customize the filling with bacon, mushrooms, or jalapenos.
  • Filling can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • These bites can be frozen before baking. Assemble, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • If filling is too runny, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs or cornstarch.
  • If crescent rolls are browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
  • Always use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
