Following the advice of other comments, I used canned, diced jalapenos instead of green chilies. These came out great! I made them for a Superbowl party, and got lots of compliments.

My family loved this recipe. I had meat mixture left over, so I could have probably used 4 tubes of crescent rolls. DELISH!!!

Was bland but if you saute minced onion till golden, some minced garlic just to let out the floavor and minced mushroom sauted, it's wonderful.

We will make it again, but it was a little bland as is. We'll probably add more green chili and something else to give it a little kick. It was easy and the overall flavor shows a lot of promise. We'll just have to experiment with it and see what happens. Thanks for sharing!

The only I would do different is get the jumbo crescents and put 1/3 cup in each one...I would just like to taste more of the meat mixture!!! But my picky picky daughter who is 8 years old had three of them! Definately will have to become a staple in my house.

All my kids loved this one. Quick and easy and yum. We did dip it in salsa to give it a little bit of a kick. Will for sure be doing this one again.
