Sloppy Joe Pinwheels
Here is what you need:
1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, venison, or buffalo) 1/2 cup ketchup 1 Tbsp yellow mustard 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 Crescent roll dough sheets 1 cup shredded cheese 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper non-stick cooking sprayStep 1: Preheat oven to 350F.& Brown ground meat in a large pan on the stove top. Once cooked, remove from heat.
Step 2: Add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to browned meat and combine. Set aside.
Step 3: Roll out crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Step 4: Top the dough with half the sloppy joe mixture. Evenly spread 1/2 cup shredded cheese on the meat.
Step 5: Roll up the dough and meat mixture lengthwise. Cut the “log” of dough into 10 sections or “pinwheels”. Repeat Steps 3-5 for the remaining ingredients.
Step 6: Remove the wax paper from the baking sheet and throw away. Spray the baking sheet(s) with non-stick cooking spray. Place each pinwheel on the baking sheet(s) 2 inches apart.
Step 7: Bake for 22 minutes or until the dough of each pinwheel is golden brown. Allow each pinwheel to cool for 15 minutes and then enjoy!
Recipe Notes: You can also use crescent rolls and fill and roll each triangle crescent being sure to pinch ends. If you would like to cook pinwheels in a greased round baking pan adjust baking time for 30-35 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Very good information. Lucky me I came across your blog by chance (stumbleupon).
I’ve book-marked it for later!
I’ve been having a lot of those ‘sigh’ days lately 😀
Your idea sounds amazing though! We already had dinner today, but I’m pinning this for later! Awesome recipe idea 🙂
I hear ya, Adriana! I know your family will love this recipe just as much as we do. Enjoy and take care!
Have you ever made this with Sloppy Joe sauce (the kind in the can)? Or is the combination you gave above about the same?
This looks fabulous for those days when I want a low-intensity dinner. (My favorite go-to is Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Casserole-since I can make a double batch for the freezer).
I loved Sloppy Joes as a kid…I might have to try these!
Hi Jennie! I have not tried Manwich, definitely a great idea though. If you do, please let me know how they turn out! I think this meat sauce is similar, but possibly a little “drier” than most traditional sloppy joe mixtures. 🙂
Sloppy Joe’s have always been one of the favorites for the kids ever since they were little so I know that they would love this also!
Lex, I think these will be just as big of a hit in your house! Enjoy!
Yum! My kids would love these!
