Hamburger Pinwheels
Savory ham and onion pinwheels with a flaky biscuit crust, perfect for appetizers or quick snacks, appealing to family and friends with hearty, comforting flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute minced onions in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a saucepan for 5 minutes.
- Measure out 2 tablespoons of cooked onions and add to ground beef along with bread crumbs, garlic flakes, salt, pepper, and Bisquick dough.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Roll out the Bisquick dough and spread the meat mixture evenly over it.
- Roll up the dough tightly and cut into slices to form pinwheels.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a simple dough with flour, baking powder, and butter. To enhance flavor, consider adding shredded cheese to the meat mixture. Ensure the onions are cooked until translucent for the best flavor. If you like it spicy, add some diced jalapeños to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hamburger pinwheels with a fresh salad or coleslaw for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Tia'S Chili for a hearty dinner. You can also offer dipping sauces like barbecue or ranch on the side. These pinwheels are perfect for game day or as a fun appetizer at parties.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and the dough is crisp again. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but the texture may not be as crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pinwheels ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pinwheel rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. When ready to bake, simply slice and bake according to the instructions. This is a great option for meal prep or entertaining.
What can I use instead of cooking oil?
If you prefer, you can use butter or olive oil as a substitute for cooking oil. Both options will add a rich flavor to the sautéed onions. Additionally, if you're looking for a healthier alternative, avocado oil is a great choice that can withstand high heat.
How do I know when the pinwheels are done baking?
The pinwheels are done when they are golden brown on top and the dough is fully cooked. You can also check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 160°F (70°C) for ground beef. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
