Now follow these easy steps:

  • Spread Softened Cream Cheese onto Crescent Dough in pan
  • After you brown ground beef and ground pork, drain grease and rinse excess fat off of meat ~ I always rinse my meat off to remove fat.
  • Now pour your ground beef mixture on top of Cream Cheese
  • Sprinkle with Garlic Salt
  • Now top off with the other Crescent Rolls. The best part is there’s no need to separate crescent dough orroll out and press triangles together to spread it out. I simply lay it out and pull the edges a little like a blanket. It puffs up as it cooks and the little perforations cook together.
  • Add Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Then Top with the other Crescent Roll Package. You don’t really need to pinch together seams and just stretch a little to make a “blanket” I forgot to take pics along the way…but you get the idea. This is one of those easy recipes that you really can’t go wrong with.

Cook in a 375 Oven for 10-15 min. Remember your meat is already cooked so you don’t have to worry about undercooked meat. Just watch the top of the crescent roll doesn’t get burnt.
