Indulge in cheesy beef-stuffed garlic knots - a savory twist on classic rolls. Perfect for a hearty appetizer or comfort food feast!
Ingredients
- • Pizza dough: 1 pound (store-bought or homemade)
- • Ground beef: 1/2 pound
- • Cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Mozzarella cheese, shredded: 1/2 cup
- • Onion, finely chopped: 1/2 cup
- • Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Butter, melted: 1/4 cup
- • Parmesan cheese, grated: 1/4 cup
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes.
- 3 Add the ground beef to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 4 In a bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
- 5 Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 equal strips.
- 6 Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture at the end of each strip. Roll the dough around the filling and tie each into a knot, tucking the ends underneath.
- 7 Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each knot with the remaining olive oil.
- 8 Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- 9 While the knots are baking, mix melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- 10 After removing the knots from the oven, immediately brush them with the butter and Parmesan mixture. Serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Cheesy Beef-Stuffed Garlic Knots make for a delightful appetizer or side dish. Pair them with a tangy marinara or a creamy ranch dipping sauce to complement the savory flavors. For a complete indulgent meal, serve alongside a hearty bowl of tomato soup or a fresh, vibrant Caesar salad. To quench your thirst, a cold, crisp lager or an aromatic red wine would pair beautifully with the rich, cheesy filling.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, place the knots in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the exterior is crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the knots soggy.
