Cheesy garlic beef burger wraps make the perfect game day treat or quick evening meal when you're in the mood for bold burger taste without all the fuss. Every mouthful delivers gooey cheese and rich butter with a tasty meat mixture tucked inside golden puffy dough—they vanish so fast at my place because of that mouthwatering garlic topping.
I made these wraps during a sports watch party and they were gone before the second quarter. They've become my backup plan whenever company shows up without warning.
- Ground beef: your main ingredient for a moist flavorful center Pick 80/20 meat for ideal juiciness
- Garlic powder and onion powder: add richness and boost the taste Always grab new spices for stronger kick
- Worcestershire sauce: brings meaty flavor and ties everything together
- Salt and pepper: complete the taste profile Try fresh ground pepper for extra zing
- Cream cheese: needs to be soft to mix well and hold everything together
- Shredded cheddar cheese: adds tangy melty goodness Pick sharp cheddar for more flavor punch
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough: makes this super quick with a fluffy golden outside Stick with top brands for better puffiness
- Unsalted butter: melted helps the garlic coating stick without making things too salty
- Fresh garlic: finely chopped gives that amazing smell as they bake
- Chopped fresh parsley: adds nice green color and freshness at the end
Easy Cooking Guide

The cream cheese is what makes these special in my book as it turns plain beef into something totally rich My folks still mention the time we munched on these during our family movie night and we didn't leave a single bite behind
Keeping Them Fresh
Store any extras in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days To keep them crispy warm them in a hot oven or air fryer for a few minutes You can freeze them too Just lay them out on a tray to freeze first then put them in a freezer bag Once frozen heat them straight from the freezer at 350 degrees until they're hot inside
Mix It Up
You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef They'll be lighter but still tasty Try Colby Jack or pepper jack for a spicy kick if you want something besides cheddar If you're out of crescent dough you can try pizza dough though it won't be as flaky and will have a more bready feel
What To Serve With Them
Enjoy these with typical burger sides like pickles lettuce shreds and tomato slices for the full burger experience They go great with dips like ketchup ranch or homemade burger sauce You can also make them tiny for parties and stick toothpicks in them so guests can grab them easily
Where These Treats Came From
These wrapped snacks got popular as quick dinners and party food thanks to ready-made dough and all the filling choices you can try Stuffing crescent rolls with American favorites like cheeseburger mixtures started back in the 70s and stuck around because they work so well The easy assembly makes them perfect for cooking with kids or folks just learning to bake
