Sausage Pinwheels
These Sausage Pinwheels are not only scrumptious but also super easy to make. They are made with simple ingredients that come together to create a flavorful bite that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and thoroughly cooked. Break it apart while cooking, then drain any excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage with cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Roll out the crescent roll dough on a flat surface, ensuring that it stays in one piece. Press the seams together if necessary.
- Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll up the dough into a log shape. Make sure it’s tight but not too tight as to squeeze the filling out.
- Once rolled, slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, leaving space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
These Sausage Pinwheels are best enjoyed warm and can be served as an appetizer or a snack. They also pair perfectly with a dipping sauce of your choice. I’m sure they’ll be a hit at your next gathering!
