Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup cooked ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (optional) Feel free to skip or replace with green onions.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the crescent roll dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. In a bowl, mix the cooked ground beef with cheese and onions (if using).
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the dough.
  5. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
  6. Slice the log into pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.
  7. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, salsa, or barbecue sauce.

Notes

For added flavor, consider seasoning the ground beef with spices like garlic powder or chili powder. Ensure the crescent roll dough is adequately sealed when rolling to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
