Simple Sausage Pinwheels Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain. Add pepper and green onion; cook and stir 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cool 10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until blended; cool completely., Unroll 1 can of crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles; pinch perforations to seal. Press each rectangle to 6x4-1/2 in.; spread each with 1/3 cup filling to within 1/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Roll gently to make logs smooth. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining crescent dough. Freeze, covered, until firm, about 1 hour., Cut each log into 10 slices. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze pinwheels in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, bake frozen pinwheels as directed, increasing time by 3-5 minutes.

PERFECT SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Create dough with Bisquick mix and milk.
• On wax paper, roll out dough. Make it as close to a large thin square as possible (don't need to be perfect).
• Spread out sausage (uncooked) on dough. (it spreads easier if you put sausage in microwave for a 20 to 30 seconds).
• Start on one side and roll toward the other, creating a large log shape.
• (wrap up in wax paper and put a towel over it and place in the freezer for around 15 minutes if you want to slice easer. This is not necessary though).
• Slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together ground pork sausage, onion, celery, parsley and pepper.
• Roll one pastry sheet into an 8x12 inch rectangle. Spread with 1/2 the sausage mixture. Beginning with one of the shorter sides, roll pastry. Moisten with water. Seal the edges with a moist fork. Slice the roll into approximately 1 inch pieces. Repeat with second pastry sheet and remaining sausage mixture.
• Flatten the roll pieces onto a large baking sheet. Bake approximately 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes, until sausage is evenly browned and pastry is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Take dough out of can in a whole sheet.
• Press perforated edges together to form one sheet of dough.
• Spread sausage over dough evenly.
• Starting with a long edge, roll dough and sausage into a log.
• Refrigerate log overnight or until firm.
• Slice 1/2 inch pieces from the log and place on baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes.

SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the oregano and onion and cook until the onion is softened, about 6 minutes.
• Make a space in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Toast it for a minute, then stir it into the sausage mixture. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer; cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl and let cool, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir the Parmesan into the cooled sausage mixture. Season with salt if necessary.
• Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 4 rectangles (each made of 2 crescent dough pieces). Press the seams together to seal and create 4 solid rectangles. Roll or press each rectangle to about 6 inches by 8 inches.
• Lay out one of the dough rectangles with the long sides on the top and bottom. Layer a quarter of the spinach leaves on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the top and bottom but extending the spinach to both sides. Sprinkle with a quarter of the parsley. Spread a quarter of the sausage mixture over top. Sprinkle with a quarter of the mozzarella. Press down on the cheese to compress the filling and adhere it to the dough. Roll the dough tightly over the filling and pinch to seal the seam. With a sharp knife, cut into 6 rounds. Place the rounds cut-side up on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 24 pinwheels.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, until the dough is puffed and browned and the cheese is browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm.

SAUSAGE CHIVE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Unroll crescent dough on a lightly floured surface; press perforations to seal. Roll into a 14x10-in. rectangle., Spread sausage to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with chives. Roll up carefully jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices; place 1 in. apart in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. pan., Bake until golden brown and sausage is cooked through, 12-16 minutes.

SAUSAGE AND CREAM CHEESE PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Spread dough from 1 package of crescent rolls out onto a work surface and pinch perforations together to create a single sheet of dough. Spread half the cream cheese over the dough sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch margin all around. Sprinkle half the cooked sausage evenly over cream cheese. Roll dough up into a log, starting at a long edge; wrap log in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Repeat steps to make a second roll; wrap. Refrigerate rolls at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Unwrap rolls and cut each into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place slices onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pinwheels are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
