Hometown Tribute- Mexican Pinwheel Recipe

Let me start off by saying.... I did not grow up in Mexico. I spent half of my childhood in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny town in Kansas. REAL FUN HUH? And to show you how tiny it was... We had 1 blinking light at a 4 way stop. MAAAAYBE 4 restaurants, 1 grocery store (that I think, its required, if you live in that town, you'll probably have worked at.) and the unforgettable train track that ran right through the middle of that town. You could be on one side of town and hear the train horn and know to hurry and try to speed up to beat being stuck by the train. Its pretty much guaranteed you will be stuck by that dreaded train every stinking day of you life while you are in that town.

Any ways. Back to the yummmmmy recipe. I got this recipe from my greatest, longest best friend Jennifer. I did change a few things though. This recipe is something I think EVERYONE made sure to show up to school, just to have this for lunch. Not even kidding. If there was an award for our favorite cafeteria food that we were served, this would hands down be the winner. 

Here we go fellow classmates and new friends-

This made about 8 pinwheels.

1 can jumbo refridgerator biscuits (Can use 2 cans of biscuits, with the same amount of other ingredients. The meat will be spread out thinner.)

1Lb hamburger

1 pkg taco seasoning

1 jar of tostitos queso dip (any nacho would work but I like this the best)

Preheat oven to degrees listed on biscuits. (Mine was 350)

 

Put all biscuits into a bowl and knead them all together to form one large ball. Jennifer suggested and I thought was a wonderful idea is let the dough sit for a little bit so its easier to roll out. I stuck mine on the stove because it will warm up quicker since the oven was running.

 

Go ahead and brown hamburger. Drain. Then add taco seasoning according to directions (My taco seasoning suggested 3/4 of a cup of water, I just used 1/2 cup. I didn't want any runniness)

 

  Then roll out on a floured surface. I try to get it rolled out thin and as close to a rectangle shape as possible. But obviously Im not too picky. Probably about a 1/4 of an inch or a little thinner.

  I then did a small layer of queso dip onto the dough. The original recipe doesn't do this, but I figured, more cheese will make it even better. Obviously :) 

 Then spread taco meat on top of rolled out biscuits.

 Then you will roll up cinnamon roll style.

 YUMMY GOODNESS!

 Afterwards, cut in inch slices and place on greased cookie sheet.

 

Bake according to biscuit directions. I cooked for 10 minutes.

 

 

Took them out and added a dollop of cheese on each one and then cooked for another 3-5 minutes.

Hope you enjoy this!! Fairly easy and doesn't require many ingredients.
However this can get messy!! But you will survive..

Little bit of this, add some of that.

You know those days where you should probably head to the grocery store, but you don't even feel like getting out of your comfy clothes... YAAAA this was one of those days. Sometimes you just gotta use what you have and make it work.

Its a throw ingredients together and hope it turns out. Well let me tell you it turned out YUMMY.
1 lb of ground meat.
1 packet of dry French onion soup.
1 cream of mushroom.
1/4 cup of milk.
Egg noodles.

1. Cook noodles as directed on package.
2. Cook ground meat in a skillet. Drain.
3. Pour the  cream of mushroom soup, french onion soup packet, and milk in with the cooked meat. Cook on low, mixing it together.
4. Once noodles are finished mix with meat mixture. Now eat and enjoy.

FOUR EASY STEPS. SO EASY and person who lives on Hamburger helpers could make it. (Hey, I eat those sometimes. No judgement here)
