For breakfast, brunch or a snack. You can slice them thinner if you prefer. Can also be made with lean sausage meat.

12 pinwheels (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

  • 1/2 lb uncooked bulk pork sausage (choose your own favorite)
  • 3 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. 2
    Unroll crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface; press seams and perforations together.
  3. 3
    Roll into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread sausage to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with chives and the cheese. Carefully roll up from a long side, cut into 12 slices (or place in the fridge first to firm up)
  4. 4
    Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking tray
  5. 5
    Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.

    These were awesome! Great football game grub! Just to add a little kick, I sprinkled them with a bit of chili powder. The guys dug it!

    Loved these! My mother used to make something similar to these. She made up her own dough, but using the crescent rolls is so much faster & easier. DH asked, "You are going to make these again, aren't you?" I found that slicing them without chilling them first was a little difficult, so I chilled them like you suggested and that made it much easier. After I'd rolled them up, I remembered I forgotten the cheese, but they were still great. DH loves cheddar cheese and is ready for me to make these again, next time remembering the cheese. Thanks for a great breakfast idea!

    Loved these. I had some pork sausage I wanted to use up and these worked out great. My husband loved them. Your recipe is a definite keeper. Thank you.
