Bacon Cheeseburger Pinwheels - great for a quick meal or parties! Ground beef, egg, tomato juice, bacon, french fried onions, cheddar cheese and refrigerated pizza dough. Dip in your favorite dipping sauce! Everyone RAVES about these yummy pinwheels! #hamburger #bacon #appetizer
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!!

Nice shortcut recipe. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like!
ReplyDeleteThese look like a perfect tailgating food and I'm also looking forward to tomorrows game - from my easy chair of course.
ReplyDeleteI bet these fly off the tail gate!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

YUM, YUM, YUM! I think these may be on the agenda for this weekend!
ReplyDeleteJust bought the stuff to make these tomorrow! Thanks! Go Mississippi State!
ReplyDeleteMay be a silly question, but you cook the meat first, right? - Sounds so good!
ReplyDelete@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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique recipe. I love it! I can't wait to try it with my own homemade pizza dough.
ReplyDeleteAlexis asked, "Are those cinnamon rolls?"
ReplyDeleteNope, 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.
ReplyDeleteI saw the thumbnail and thought they were cinnamon rolls:) These look wonderful and sound so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteCan these be frozen after cooking?
ReplyDeleteI think that would be fine
