Servings: 24 pieces
Ingredients
- 450 grams 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or a cheddar-mozzarella blend
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced finely
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent sheet or pizza dough
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dried parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet set over medium heat, brown the ground beef together with the diced onion until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Incorporate the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the pan. Stir in the ketchup and mustard, allowing the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll the refrigerated dough on a lightly floured work surface, forming a rectangular shape.
- Distribute the cooked beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter the shredded cheese across the beef layer to ensure even coverage.
- Beginning with the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
- Cut the roll into slices approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick, forming spiraled pinwheels.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pinwheels with adequate spacing.
- Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl, then brush the mixture over the tops of the pinwheels.
- Place the tray in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden and baked through.
- If desired, apply an additional layer of garlic butter after baking and sprinkle with dried parsley before serving.
