Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Frozen Dinner Rolls: Use about 24 rolls; they’re easy to work with and save you from dough disasters.
Garlic Powder: A must-have! Fresh garlic can also be used if you’re feeling fancy.
Parmesan Cheese: Grated for easy melting; use fresh if you want to impress.
Butter: Unsalted works best; it balances the flavors without overpowering them.
Italian Seasoning: A blend that adds depth; feel free to adjust based on your taste preferences.
Fresh Parsley (optional): Chopped for garnish; it adds a pop of color and freshness.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Rolls: Start by placing frozen dinner rolls in a large bowl. Let them thaw slightly while you prepare the other ingredients. This makes them easier to work with.

Mix the Goodness: In a small bowl, melt your butter in the microwave until bubbly. Combine melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir well until everything is coated in buttery bliss.

Toss Them Up: Pour your buttery mixture over the rolls in the bowl. Gently toss everything together so each roll is coated with that garlicky goodness—try not to drool!

Add It All to the Crockpot: Spray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray before adding all those beautiful rolls inside. This helps prevent sticking issues later on.

Sprinkle More Cheese: Top off your rolls with the remaining parmesan cheese evenly distributed over them like a cheesy blanket.

Crock It Up: Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours or until golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell heavenly during this time!

Once done cooking, resist the urge to dive right in (it’s hard!). Let your creation cool slightly before serving—this lets all that cheesy goodness settle down just enough for maximum pull-apart action.

Now you’ve got yourself an impressive dish that’s more than just food; it’s a reason for celebration! Pair it with marinara sauce if you’re feeling adventurous or enjoy it straight from the pot—no judgment here!
