Pepperoni Pinwheels

Hey friends!  It's been a busy few days here prepping everything for the kids to head back to school today, we've had big storms in the Midwest so our power has been touch and go and we're all sad to say goodbye to Summer 2022.  I've got some fun posts coming your way from Destin, Florida and some back to school posts.  Stay tuned!

I have a really easy recipe to share with you today - Pepperoni Pinwheels.

I've been making them for years.  They're so so good and very simple to make.  You just need 7 ingredients to make this quick dinner for your family.

Ingredients:

1 refrigerated pizza crust

1 pkg turkey pepperoni (or any pepperoni that you love) chopped

3T Ranch dressing

1 T Lawry's Season Salt

*Optional green onions sliced thin

1 bag of mozzarella cheese

Your favorite pizza or pasta sauce

Directions:

Roll out the pizza crust and flatten it to the edges of a baking sheet.  Be careful to not rip the crust as you gently flatten it out.  Add the ranch dressing and spread it around evenly.  FYI My husband does not love ranch and he loves these.  They do not taste ranchy once you bake it - it just adds a lot of flavor.  Sprinkle on the season salt, the entire package of chopped pepperoni and the green onions.  Top with about 1/3 of a bag of cheese.  Then roll up the pepperoni pinwheels just like you'd do for cinnamon rolls.  Slice them into 9 pinwheels.  

Place them on a greased baking sheet (the same one you just rolled them out on to save time on dishes!) and then top them with the remaining cheese.  I like to put a little mound of cheese on each pinwheel.  Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.  While they're baking, heat your favorite pizza or pasta sauce on the stove.

Serve with a big scoop of your favorite sauce and a side salad.  It'll be delicious!  They also reheat really well for leftovers the next day.

Would your family or friends enjoy these?
