1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).
Add butter to the beef and let it melt. Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard (if using), onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture on each triangle and top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll up each crescent roll, starting from the wider end, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
