Meat Pinwheels


This is one of my stand by recipes for when I get a call that we are having unexpected guests for a quick lunch on their way through town. I always have these simple ingredients in the house, and since there is no rising time involved, it is an easy yet delicious lunch.

FILLING

1 lb hamburger
1 small onion minced
salt & pepper to taste
Fry together until browned, and drain any fat.
Stir in one can Cream of Mushroom soup. Let simmer about 5 minute. cool mixture completely.

BISCUITS RECIPE
2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
Mix the above ingredients together. Then cut in 1/4 cup butter with a pastry blender. Then stir in 1 cup milk. Stir until dough begins to form a ball. Lightly flour counter and gently knead dough into a smooth ball.


Flour counter a bit more and roll dough into a rectangle not quite 1/2 inch thick.
Spread cooled meat mixture onto the dough and roll as a jelly roll.
Slice 1" thick sliced and place (almost touching) onto lightly greased small cookie sheet.
Bake at 425for 15-20 minutes. Meat will bubble a bit and biscuit should be golden brown.Let rest in pan while you make a thick pourable cheese sauce.

CHEESE SAUCE

Melt 1/4 cup butter in microwave
Stir in 2 tbsp flour stirring until smooth.
Add 1 1/4 cup milk. stir well and place back in microwave for several minutes till bubbly. Take out and whisk together well. You may microwave 30 more seconds until smooth. Lightly salt and pepper. Add 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese to hot sauce and stir until cheese has melted
Serve cheese sauce on the side in a gravy boat or small pourable jug.
Serve with a garden salad.

  9. I do something similiar. I roll my dough out and put ground sausage on it. I roll it up and put in the refrigerator and the next morning I just cut it and put it on an ungreased baking sheet. We call them Sausage Swirls. Makes for a nice, quick breakfast. I take these to new mothers who don't have much energy after being up with a baby at night.

  11. I made these for supper the day I read this post. They were just delicious! Thanks for the new recipe. I didn't have time to wait for the meat mixture to cool, so mine were quite sloppy as I sliced them and placed them on the pan, oh well, tasted great.

  12. This is so yum looking. How many will this feed? Trying to figure it out because there are 8 of us. Should I make two?

  13. Well I finally made this recipe 2+ years later...LOL It was great! I doubled it and it fed 8 very very heartily. We cheated and used the tositos queso instead of making the cheese sauce, DELISH!

  18. Could you make these in advance up until the cutting of the roll and keep in the fridge for overnight? Or would I be better off baking them and reheating (I'd still do the cheese sauce fresh)

  19. No, you would have to bake and reheat.
