- Create dough with Bisquick mix and milk.
- On wax paper, roll out dough. Make it as close to a large thin square as possible (don't need to be perfect).

- Start on one side and roll toward the other, creating a large log shape.
- (wrap up in wax paper and put a towel over it and place in the freezer for around 15 minutes if you want to slice easer. This is not necessary though).
- Slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Use a high-quality sausage that is flavorful and has a good texture. Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, or chorizo are all good choices.
- Brown the sausage thoroughly: This will help to bring out the flavor and prevent the sausage from being greasy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: This will add flavor and texture to the pinwheels. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't overfill the pinwheels: This will make them difficult to roll and they may come apart when baking.
- Chill the pinwheels before baking: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Brush the pinwheels with melted butter before baking: This will help them to brown and give them a crispy crust.
- Serve the pinwheels warm: They are best when served fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Sausage pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. So next time you have some sausage on hand, give these pinwheels a try!
