Easy Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe

Make a quick dinner that the kids will love with this five minute recipe for easy ham and cheese roll-ups! It’s a perfect fast lunch, dinner, or even breakfast for a busy day!

We love homemade ham and cheese roll-ups from scratch at our house, but they can take a long time to make from scratch.  That’s difficult when you have a busy homeschool schedule and the kids’ many activities each day!

Quick five-minute meals are a “must” for our family.  One of our favorites is making lazy ham and cheese roll-ups.  No need to make the dough or sauce from scratch, and get dinner from ingredients to table in just around 15 minutes (that includes 10 minutes of baking time)

If you don’t want to have ham in your meal, then give these Crescent Rolls with Cheese and Garlic Butter a try instead.

Or if you like the idea of ham and cheese in a crescent roll, then try out this recipe for a ham and cheese crescent ring!

Easy Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe

Chop ham into small squares. 

Unroll crescent rolls and sprinkle ham and grated cheese onto them.  Roll the crescent rolls and bake according to instructions on the package (around 10 minutes). 

While baking, warm up sauce and use to top completed rolls, or make a homemade cheese sauce.

If you want to have it for breakfast, you can skip the sauce and eat it on the go!

Or give it a try with this 2 Ingredient Cheese Sauce.

Homemade Cheese Sauce

If you’d rather have a homemade cheese sauce to go with your easy ham and cheese roll-ups, here’s a great recipe:

  • 8 tbsp (1/2 cup) butter
  • 8 tbsp flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 tbsp chicken boulian or flavor base
  • grated cheese

Melt butter on medium temperature stove. Mix in the flour to create a very thick paste.

Add milk and stir constantly (do not walk away at all or it will burn on the bottom). Continue stirring and as the sauce thickens, add the boulion.

Keep stirring until all lumps are out and sauce begins to boil. Continue stirring constantly while sauce boils for at least 1-2 minutes (be careful of splashes). Then add as much grated cheese as desired.

When the biscuits come of out the oven, serve with a ladle of cheese sauce on top.
