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.

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