I agree that the meat mixture was way to much. I ended up using 3 tubes of cersents. my 19 yr old son thought he could eat more than one too but once he polished off the first he was full. We added olives to ours and thought maybe adding some diced pepperoni might add more zip to them. Also some Italian season on the top as well. We talked about making them with chicken instead of of beef as well. Love them tough!!

My family loved these! I ended up freezing the left over meat mixture since I had so much. I made this again it about two weeks later using what I had frozen and it was still really good.

I would likely not use crescent dough a second time but instead pizza dough so there are not so many seams. I found there was way too much filling too so would need more dough. The flavour was excellent.

Sounds wonderful! Can they be made ahead and frozen?

Like the other 2 posters I found that 1/4th of the mixture was too much. My family loved it and I will be making it again with more rolls.

The meat quantity was too much but I took the extra and mixed it into mac 'n cheese the next night for a quick and yummy meal. I also used 2 rolls together instead of 4 to make smaller calzones. Otherwise they are huge.

I followed the directions and quantities exactly, but there's way too much meat mixture inside the dough to even pinch and seal them together. IF I make this again, I will try using 3 tubes of crescent rolls. I would also recommend assembling them on the baking sheet, because transferring them afterwards could be fun to watch.
