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

These were ok but I had to add a lot more spices for it to be more flavorful

I used the recipe as a jumping-off point and went wild with it. I used taco seasoning in place of the spices, fresh jalapenos instead of canned chiles and added some shredded cheddar and fresh tomatoes. Next time, I think I'll also have a dip on hand, maybe salsa or chipotle ranch dressing.

I rarely follow a recipe, but this time I did, and I was not disappointed! These little bundles were delicious and I made them for a crowd and they got good reviews! Will be making them again :)

My kids were raving over these! We had them for dinner with rice and salad, but they would be a good appetizer.

The flavor is so great and the recipe very easy! This is one I would make again! I did change one thing after reading the reviews. I used 2 small cans of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, mild flavor and drained, instead of just the green chilies. This gave it a great kick! With 2 hungry teenage boys in the house, this recipe is a great one to help keep them full!

My husband and I loved these, and my kids seemed to like them also!! I put some of the mixture in jumbo crescents and the rest in the regular crescents for my kids. We used a salsa queso for dipping, and thought it was a great addition. Because the recipe makes so many, and has so many calories per serving, we thought we would use these for party food next time we make them. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
