Hamburger Spins
Hearty hamburger spins feature seasoned ground beef combined with green peppers and onions, enveloped in a tender biscuit crust, perfect for comforting family dinners and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onions and green peppers to the beef and cook until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 cup of water, cook until mixture thickens, then set aside to cool.
- Prepare the biscuit dough using 2 cups of Bisquick according to package instructions.
- Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and place a spoonful of beef mixture in the center of each.
- Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the beef mixture. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make your own biscuit mix with flour, baking powder, and salt. For a healthier option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Remember to let the filling cool slightly before wrapping to prevent the dough from getting soggy.
Serving Suggestions
These Hamburger Spins are perfect as a fun appetizer or a casual meal. Serve them with a side of mixed greens or a fresh salad for balance. They pair beautifully with a dipping sauce, such as ranch or barbecue, for added flavor. For a complete dinner, consider serving alongside American recipes like Seven Layers Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispness of the dough while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze Hamburger Spins?
Yes, you can freeze unbaked Hamburger Spins. Just assemble them, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to three months. Bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you want a dairy-free or healthier option, you can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade white sauce or a can of vegetable broth thickened with cornstarch. This will provide a similar texture without the added creaminess.
How can I make these vegetarian?
To make Hamburger Spins vegetarian, simply replace the ground beef with a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, lentils, or a meat substitute like tempeh or textured vegetable protein. Add extra veggies or beans to enhance the filling and keep it hearty.
