My neighbor makes these Beef-Stuffed Crescents using jalapenos instead of green chilis and calls them "rattlesnake bites!" I love that this recipe is so easy and has so few ingredients. I've made it for potlucks and family gatherings…and never have any leftovers. —Jennifer Bumgarner, Topeka, Kansas

I made a scaled down version of this and used all ingredients but the cumin. They were excellent. Im eating light these days and only had one, and it was quite filling. But I definitely could have had more, they're that good.

I actually used ground sausage instead of ground beef. It definitely gave them more flavor!

Very tasty, but next time I would cut crescent rolls in half. One was very filling.

I thought these were really bland, and I stupidly bought cheap crescent rolls which I would not recommend. I would add something to spice it up a little more. Maybe garlic?

I love this idea. I took these to a Mexican-themed potluck the other day. I changed the recipe a bit. Rather than using the spices called for, I used taco seasoning and cooked according the package directions. I added low-fat cream cheese after most of the moisture was cooked down. I also had a few sliced black olives in the fridge, so I threw them in, also. I also had enough meat mixture to use 3-1/2 tubes of crescent rolls.

I have not made this recipe. You say spread the filling at the small end, Is that the one opposite the point end?

Great recipe! I actually keep the crescent rolls in a rectangle, spread the beef mixture down the middle, and then bring the edges up and seal together. I can usually get by with just 2 packages of crescent rolls and sometimes just 1. I usually put extra chili powder in too!

These were really good and very kid friendly. We love serving these as an appetizer or as part of the main course. Great for football!!!

These are super quick and easy! I did tweak the recipe a bit though. I used ground turkey and garlic and herb laughing cow cheese and they were great!
