½ cup diced yellow onions
03 -
1 tsp minced garlic
04 -
1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
05 -
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

8 oz Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
11 -
½ Tbsp olive oil
12 -
1 tsp sesame seeds
# Steps:
01 -
Using a large skillet, add beef, onions, and garlic. Place pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-9 minutes or until beef is fully cooked.
02 -
Add diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper; stir until well combined. Continue cooking until all of the liquid has evaporated. Drain any excess liquid, if necessary.
03 -
Preheat oven to 400°F.
04 -
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
05 -
Working on a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12”x15” rectangle.
06 -
Spread hamburger filling evenly over dough, leaving a ½” border on edges. Sprinkle approximately ¾ of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
07 -
Starting with a short side, roll dough into a tight log. Use a serrated knife to slice the log into 12 pinwheels. Place one pinwheel into each cup of the prepared muffin tin.
08 -
Brush tops of pinwheels with olive oil and then sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown.
09 -
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of pinwheels. Continue baking for 2-3 more minutes, or until cheese has fully melted.

Let pinwheels cool in pan for several minutes before removing and serving.
