HAMBURGER PINWHEELS
This is a large recipe, because they’re so good, they’ll disappear quickly. They can also be frozen and reheated for a quick, delicious meal.
Meat mixture:
Brown 2-3 pounds ground beef, add onion flakes (or chopped), garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin to taste. (Sorry, but I never measure spices!)
Add enough ketchup and mustard to moisten mixture.
Dough:
Stir together thoroughly:
6 cups flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon salt
2 cups milk
¾ cup olive oil
I add garlic powder, Cajun spice, and Italian seasoning
Knead a few times to completely mix, then roll out to about ½”. Spread a thin layer of mayo, leaving one edge uncovered. Spread meat mixture over the mayo, also leaving one edge bare. Carefully roll up from opposite side of bare strip and cut into 1” slices. Place on greased (I use spray) baking sheet. Bake at 425 F for about 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
I sometimes add grated cheese on top of the meat mixture before rolling.
