Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the first five ingredients — eggs, baking powder, salt, water, and flour — to form a stiff dough and roll into a rectangle.
- Combine hamburger, water, and salt; sprinkle with a little flour to help the mixture stick together.
- Spread the hamburger mixture evenly over the dough rectangle.
- Roll up the dough with the hamburger filling like a jelly roll.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1 1/2-inch slices.
- Mix the tomato soup, tomato paste, chopped onion, and chopped celery; simmer for about 35 minutes.
- Transfer the tomato mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, place the hamburger rolls on top, and add 1 pint of water.
- Bake in a slow oven for about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter dough, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the hamburger mixture. To save time, you can use pre-cooked ground beef or turkey. Make sure to roll the dough tightly for even cooking. If you want a richer taste, mix in some shredded cheese with the hamburger before rolling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Hamburger Roll-Ups with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a side of baked beans or a tangy coleslaw. For an extra touch, drizzle some hot sauce or your favorite condiment over the rolls before serving. This dish also makes a great addition to a potluck or family gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for about 1-2 minutes, but be aware that this may make the dough softer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of hamburger?
Yes, ground turkey is a great substitute for hamburger in this recipe. It will provide a leaner option while still delivering a delicious flavor. Just be sure to season the turkey well to enhance its taste, as it can be milder compared to beef.
What can I use instead of tomato soup?
If you don't have tomato soup on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes, along with some Italian seasoning to mimic the flavor. Alternatively, a homemade tomato sauce can work well too.
Can I freeze the Hamburger Roll-Ups?
Yes, you can freeze the Hamburger Roll-Ups before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed. This makes for an easy meal prep option.
