Рецепт Artichoke Bacon Pinwheels #12Bloggers
These Artichoke Bacon Pinwheels are an easy game day recipe that won’t have you going into overtime in the kitchen!
My history with football is pretty much non-existent. My dad didn’t watch sports — he was much happier watching a World World II documentary than watching a football game. My mom didn’t either. I didn’t have my first real exposure to families (and women) who watched football until I was dating my soon-to-be husband and started spending time at his grandmother’s house.
My husband and his family used to watch lots of NFL. His grandmother was pretty hardcore about her favorite teams. I hung around and watched some of it with them, but never really caught on to how the game is played. Of course, this was all before the Rams and Raiders left Los Angeles in 1994. When they left, my husband decided he didn’t have a NFL team to cheer for anymore (it’s still a sore subject in our house). He still watches various NFL games, but usually just watches whatever team happens to be playing and cheers for the underdog.
While I don’t watch much football, I still serve a very important purpose during the games: I feed people. I like feeding them a lot more than watching the game. And they like being fed. It’s a win/win.
Over the last few years, I’ve found myself getting just about as excited for tailgating food as I do for holiday food (I never thought I would say that). I’ll even start creating and testing recipes for it months in advance. Well, all that thinking and planning and testing has paid off because I have some delicious game day recipes to share with you!
To kick off the tastiness, I’m sharing my first 2014 game day recipe as part of the#12Bloggers team. Every month, on the 12th of the month, 12 of us share a recipe with 12 or less ingredients that fits a common theme. The theme for September is (of course) Tailgating or Game Day Recipes! Just take a look at this photo below – lots of options for your next game day! Everything from chicken wings to dips to finger foods. There’s something for everyone.

My contribution to this month’s #12Blogger event is Artichoke Bacon Pinwheels. They are AWESOME and I can get in trouble with them if I don’t watch myself — just can’t resist pinwheels recipes with cream cheese! Plus, I love artichoke hearts and then you add in bacon? OH YES.
To make your Artichoke Bacon Pinwheels, you’ll first blend together cream cheese, dry ranch dressing mix, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
The mixture is spread on a unrolled can of refrigerated crescent dough. I bought the Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet, which is great for this recipe. If you can’t find that in your stores, you can use the regular can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and pinch and smoosh together the seams so that there is no holes.
The cream cheese mixture is topped with the chopped artichoke hearts and bacon. Then, give the ingredients a gentle pat to help them hold onto the cream cheese mixture.
Everything is rolled up, starting at one of the short ends.
Cut the roll in half and then each half into 4 pieces. Place each of the slices onto a baking sheet that has been greased or lined with parchment paper. Then, into the oven they go!
Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool down a bit and then they are ready to serve! I think they are best slightly warm, but you can eat them cold, if you prefer.

Artichoke Bacon Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 packet ranch dressing mix (I used Hidden Valley Ranch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
- 1 can artichoke hearts (14-ounces each), drained and finely chopped
- 2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or seamless dough sheet (I used Pillsbury)
Instructions
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, and Parmesan cheese.
Unroll a can of crescent dinner roll dough or seamless dough sheet. If using crescent dinner roll dough, pinch and push together seams, so there is no holes and just one large dough sheet. Repeat with 2nd can of dough.
Spread 1/2 of cream cheese mixture evenly on each of the dough sheets. Sprinkle each one with half of the bacon and artichoke hearts. Gently pat bacon and artichoke hearts into the cream cheese mixture.
Starting with one of the short sides of the dough, roll up dough, keeping ingredients tucked into the roll. When completely rolled, press and seal remaining edge into the roll.
Cut each roll in half with a sharp knife. Cut each half into 4 slices. Place slices on baking sheet, about 2" apart. If you need more room, use a 2nd baking sheet or bake only 8 slices at a time. Bake about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool slightly and serve!
