FAQs

Can I prepare the rollups ahead of time?

Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?

Are these freezer-friendly?

What dipping sauces go well with these?

Ketchup, ranch dressing, mustard, or a spicy aioli all pair well.

How do I prevent the filling from spilling out?

Avoid overfilling and make sure edges are properly sealed when rolling.

Can I make mini versions for appetizers?

If there is excess grease, it’s best to drain it to prevent soggy dough.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Yes, finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms can be added to the cooked beef.
