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

My family loves this recipe. One thing I did to add some flavor was to use salsa instead of green chilies. No leftovers.

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.
