Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the chopped onion, chopped celery, and chopped green pepper with the corned beef hash.
- Unroll each crescent roll dough from the can.
- Place triangles of dough on a greased cookie sheet with the large ends in the center, overlapping slightly, and the small ends pointing outward to the edges of the sheet, forming a sunburst pattern with an open circle in the middle.
- Place the hash mixture in a ring over the base of the dough triangles.
- Fold the points of the dough triangles over the filling and tuck them under the base of the ring, allowing the filling to show through the slits.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or spices like garlic powder and paprika to the hash mixture. You can substitute the corned beef hash with other proteins, such as shredded chicken or ground turkey, for a different twist. If you don’t have crescent rolls, puff pastry can serve as a great alternative, giving a flakier texture to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
This pinwheel hash ring makes an excellent brunch centerpiece or a hearty snack for game day. Pair it with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It also complements well with a tangy dipping sauce or a side of pickles, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pinwheel hash ring in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Microwaving is also an option, but it may result in a softer pastry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the hash mixture and assemble the pinwheel hash ring a few hours in advance. Just cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake it. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even tastier when baked.
What can I serve with the pinwheel hash ring?
This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or some roasted potatoes. For a more filling meal, consider serving it alongside scrambled eggs or a side of baked beans. A zesty dipping sauce can also elevate the flavors.
Can I freeze the pinwheel hash ring?
Freezing is not recommended once baked, as the pastry may become soggy upon reheating. However, you can freeze the assembled, unbaked pinwheel hash ring. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
