Let’s Make it together

Get Your Crockpot Ready: First things first: spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent any sticky situations later on.

Prepare the Rolls: In a large bowl, combine thawed dinner rolls and melted butter mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning until they’re well-coated.

Layer It Up: Place half of the coated rolls in the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan over them like you’re creating a cheesy masterpiece.

Finish Layering: Top with the remaining rolls and finish off with the rest of your parmesan cheese. Don’t be shy—this is where the magic happens!

Cook Time: Cover your crockpot and cook on low for about 2-3 hours or until they’re golden brown and gooey inside; check around 2 hours to avoid overcooking.

Serve It Up: Once it’s done, carefully remove from the crockpot using two spoons or forks (it can be hot). Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before diving in!
