Brown the Beef

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
   Once browned, add minced garlic and season with salt and pepper; cook for an additional minute.

Roll the Dough

3. Roll out the crescent roll dough and cut into triangles.
   This will serve as the base for your rollups.

4. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture and shredded cheese at the wide end of each triangle and roll up.
   Ensure you start at the wide end to create a snug roll.

5. Brush the tops with melted butter.
   This gives them a beautiful golden finish once baked.

6. Bake the rollups on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
   Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid over-baking.
