How to Make Cheesy Beef and Potato Stuffed Roll
Step 1: Cook the Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
Add the diced potatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2: Add the Cheese
Once the filling has cooled a bit, stir in most of the shredded cheese, reserving a small handful for topping if desired. This helps keep the cheese from melting too early.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the beef and potato mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log, sealing the seam and tucking in the ends.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Place the roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with egg wash or melted butter, then sprinkle with extra cheese or seeds if using.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Rest and Slice
Let the roll rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes cleaner slices.
Tips for the Best Stuffed Roll
Cut potatoes small so they cook evenly and quickly.
Let the filling cool slightly before assembling to prevent soggy dough.
Extra crisp top: Finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes.
Flavor boost: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef.
