Bacon Cheeseburger Pinwheels


It's Football Friday! This is a HUGE weekend in college football.  I am packed and ready to head down to the game bright and early tomorrow morning! 

Burgers are great tailgating food, but sometimes it isn't convienent to grill burgers.    Maybe you don't have a grill to tote to the parking lot, or you just don't want to deal with the hassle of it all.  We've grilled burgers twice this year, and it is a lot of work.  This recipe will satisfy your burger craving without the grill.  Simply mix up the hamburger meat, roll it up in some refrigerated pizza dough and bake.  Couldn't be simpler or tastier!!

I created this recipe for the Seneca Crispy Onions Gridiron Challenge.  Seneca Snacks invited food bloggers to create football friendly recipes with their new Crispy Onions.  In case you haven't heard of the new Seneca Crispy Onions, they are sweet, cripsy, salty, toasted onion strips.  I like to snack on them right out of the bag!  They are also great on burgers, soups or topping a juicy steak.  They would also be a great addition to the Thanksgiving green bean casserole.

These look like a perfect tailgating food and I'm also looking forward to tomorrows game - from my easy chair of course.

I bet these fly off the tail gate!

I make a similar recipe from Kraft. It's called cheeseburger roll up. Your recipe looks equally good. I bet the addition of those crispy onions really put it over the top!

Happy Friday!

May be a silly question, but you cook the meat first, right? - Sounds so good!

@The Dornons - you don't cook the meat first. You put in on the dough raw. It cooks with the dough. It works - I promise!

What a unique recipe. I love it! I can't wait to try it with my own homemade pizza dough.

Alexis asked, "Are those cinnamon rolls?"

Nope, cheeseburger rolls! I bet they are a huge hit at tailgates.

I bet you are rooting for the lowly Volunteers this weekend :)

Stephanie, these look wonderful! What a great idea. Have fun tailgaiting/gaming/winning.

I wondered the same thing, do you cook the meat first? It seems so strange to me not to... but I will try it! Actually I have some hamburger meat already cooked and crumbled and I am going to try it with that and croissant rolls since that is what I have on hand. What a fun recipe! Thanks so much!!!
