Another episode of my Game Day Bites series, and this one could not be easier. Flaky crescent dough, spicy sausage, melty cheddar - that’s it! Perfect for game day, parties, or last-minute snacks.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Brown sausage over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat.
Roll crescent dough into one rectangle, sealing the seams.
Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 1–1½ inch pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
For extra flavor, drizzle hot honey or ranch over the pinwheels before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
Serve with hot sauce on the side for those who like an extra kick.
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes, you can use mild sausage or even turkey sausage if you prefer a less spicy option.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pinwheels, cover them, and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella, pepper jack, or any cheese that melts well.
How do I prevent the dough from sticking?
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to line your baking sheet.
Can I freeze these pinwheels?
Yes, you can freeze them before or after baking. If freezing before baking, thaw them slightly before putting them in the oven.
