I love easy to prepare party foods like these Sausage Pinwheels. You can serve them for brunch or at your next party. When you don’t have a lot of time but you need a delicious party food, this is it.
My husband is crazy about these pinwheels and it can’t get any easier than this 2-ingredient party food.
Crescent rolls are so versatile. You can make so many recipes with these babies. From sweet creations like my easy crescent roll cinnamon rolls to savory rolls like these sausage pinwheels, you can’t go wrong when a recipe begins with crescent rolls.
Sausage Pinwheels
On a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent rolls and press all seams and perforations together. Roll into a 14″ x 10″ rectangle. I usually eyeball it since I’ve made these so many times.
Spread uncooked sausage to within 1/2″ of the edges. I pat the sausage into a large round disc and place it in the middle of the crescent roll dough. Then I lightly press it to within 1/2″ of the edges.
Carefully roll up from the long side. Cut into 12 slices.
Place 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375º for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe makes a dozen sausage pinwheels. You may want to double the recipe if you’re serving a large group. No one can eat just one!
The next time you need to take a dish to a party, try these Sausage Pinwheels. They are so delicious and I love the fact that you only need two ingredients – ground sausage and crescent rolls. It can’t get much easier than this.

What a neat idea for a snack. I like having some good finger food recipes like this. I’ll have to make these next time we have guests.
This Sausage pinwheels looks delicious , It is great appetizer for the parties. I need to give it a try.
Could you use turkey sausage instead? A real good friend can’t have mammal meat due to an allergy that resulted from a tick bite.
I think turkey sausage would work fine! I’ve never tried it so let me know how it goes.
I mix shredded cheese with the sausage and then spread it on the crescent roll sheet. This makes the pinwheels extra good.
Sounds delicious! I’ll try it the next time I make them. Thanks for sharing!
