These Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Rollups are scrumptious on their own, but pairing them with a side can elevate your meal. Consider serving them with:

A fresh side salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
Crisp potato fries or sweet potato wedges for a classic combo.
Dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or BBQ for added flavor.
