Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Pinwheels (Printer-Friendly Version)
Golden pinwheels filled with cheesy beef, smoky bacon, and tangy pizza sauce for a satisfying bite.
# Ingredients Needed:
→ Dough
01 -
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough (unperforated sheet preferred)
→ Cheese
02 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
03 -
1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
→ Meat
04 -
225 grams (8 ounces) lean ground beef, cooked and drained
05 -
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
→ Sauce
06 -
1/4 cup thick pizza sauce
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface and pinch seams together tightly to form one large rectangle without gaps.
02 -
Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar then mozzarella cheese over the dough, spreading to edges for consistent coverage.
03 -
Distribute cooked ground beef and crispy bacon crumbles evenly atop the cheese, pressing lightly to embed into cheese layer.
04 -
Drizzle or spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the layered fillings, using just enough to flavor without excess moisture.
05 -
Carefully roll dough into a tight log, then slice into eight equal pinwheels using a sharp knife. For best results, chill the log for 10 minutes before slicing if dough feels too soft.
06 -
Arrange pinwheels seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish, leaving space between. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Pinch seams tightly on the dough to prevent unrolling during baking.
02 -
Fully crisp bacon prior to adding for optimal texture.
03 -
These pinwheels freeze well both pre- and post-baking for convenient meal prep.
