Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, brown the hamburger.
- Add sliced onion, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
- Cook until the onion is tender; drain any excess fat.
- Blend the Jiffy baking mix and milk to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough as for a jelly roll, starting from one long side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding garlic powder or your favorite herbs to the meat mixture. You can substitute ground turkey for the hamburger for a leaner option. Ensure the dough isn't overworked to keep it tender and flaky. If you want a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños to the meat filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Jiffy Meat Roll with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with American recipes like Ranch House Beans or Casserole Of Corn. For a complete dinner, consider offering a light dessert such as fruit salad or yogurt parfait.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave-safe dish covered with a damp paper towel to retain moisture, or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.
