Garlic Beef Pinwheels

Flaky crescent dough is wrapped around seasoned beef and cheese, and then cut into swirls.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 16 minutes
Total Time 36 minutes
Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tube crescent dough sheet
  • 0.75 lb ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet.
  2. Brown the beef with the garlic, season with salt and pepper, then drain and cool slightly.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough, spread the beef over it, and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  4. Roll the dough up from the long side and slice into 1-inch pinwheels.
  5. Place cut-side up on the sheet, brush with garlic butter, and bake 14-16 minutes until golden.
  6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Chilling the roll briefly makes it much easier to slice cleanly.
