Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 2 cups self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
- Cooking spray, for greasing
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup self-rising flour
- 2 cups canned diced tomatoes, drained and juices reserved
- 2 cups canned diced tomatoes, drained and juices reserved
- 1 3/4 cups frozen peas, thawed
Instructions
- For the biscuit dough: Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the shortening into the flour in a medium bowl until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough, or until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue stirring with the fork until all the flour is worked into the dough, and then turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead three or four times until smooth and manageable.
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine the beef, onion, salt and pepper in a large skillet and cook over a medium heat until the meat is browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour and 1/3 cup of the reserved tomato liquid. Remove 1 cup of this meat mixture and set aside. Add the tomatoes and the peas to the remaining mixture in the skillet. Set aside.
- On a well-floured surface, roll the biscuit dough into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the reserved cup of meat mixture thinly over the dough, and then roll the dough like a jelly roll, beginning from one long edge. Place the roll on the prepared baking sheet. Using kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, cut 1-inch slices almost through to the bottom of the roll. To expose some of the filling, pull alternate slices to the left and right. Bake until browned, about 15 minutes
- Reheat the beef and vegetable mixture. Slice the baked loaf and spoon some of the hot vegetable and meat mixture over each slice.

Made this gem for my two roommates. Wow! I highly recommend serving w mashed potatoes and adding some heat to the meat.
Great twist on a southern classic! I do agree with most reviews on a lack of flavor: I am Latina, so I added spicy queso instead of the flour for the rue as well as used canned diced tomatoes with chili to add some heat and flavor to the dish. I also cheated and used premade biscuit dough that was a little hard to manipulate but turned out delicious! Definitely something I would make again and again!
The flavor was good. It just seemed a bit labor intensive for a variation on a meatloaf.
I’ve never been a fan of meatloaf, but this was great! I just wish I could hold more. Made it exactly to the recipe. It couldn’t be easier or tastier. Sharing on Facebook to brag to all my friends. Thanks, Mrs. Yearwood!
This is FANTASTIC! Ok so I tweeked it just a tad after reading reviews. I was afraid meat would be bland so I added garlic and I used chopped onions b/c I didn’t have the other kind. I also added one pack of dry zesty italian dressing mix. Probably didnt need to add that though. I made it otherwise the same. My first pinwheel didn’t turn out pretty but I used to much meat, the 2nd one I followed just as stated abd it turned out perfect! I made double the recipe b/c we are a family of 5. I then topped w a little bit of shredded italian cheese mix right before serving. I love recipes that are great on their iwn but also have the possibility of being tweeked in many different ways. Possibilites are endless w this recipe!! 5
This is a good twist on a meatloaf. I loved the homemade biscuit dough. So much better than the can. The meat, tomatoes and peas over the top are delicious. I go a little easy on the peas though. I still like them because they add good flavor. It really is a decadent surprise. I loved it.
Only took 20 years to make a biscuit, followed this and made extra for biscuits, Nummo!!! I did it
I took the advise of some other folks and doctored the meat mixture with just two ingredients. To the meat, I added fresh onion and McCormick’s Montreal Steak sauce. It turned out great! Thanks for y’all’s tips! If we all work together, this could be a fantastic comfort meal!! 😉
This was soo gross! No one in my family of 7 liked this! Don’t waste your time or money on this recipe.
This recipe was terrible!!! No flavor, dry, nothing like was shown on your show trish. Don’t waste your money on this one!!
