Reviews
I love these and they are a hit in my house. I used Pizza dough. I recommend that if you use this completely sealing them up is the best way to go. Although I tasted the cheese (mixed sharp cheddar and pepper Jack) I feel that next time adding a small chunk in the center of it would be better. will make this again but different approach.
I make these delightful savory pastries, to use up the Velveeta cheese I had on hand. They came out of the oven piping hot and a lovely golden bake on them. Next time I make them, I will have to double the recipe and share with family and friends..I loved them, delicious and filling!
These were fantastic! I did switch out the onion for chopped pickle, and i added in ketchup and mustard to each bun. I also did a complete seal, so they looked like round buns, and they came out great. I'm actually making an alteration right now with broccoli, chicken and Alfredo sauce.
I did like another reviewer suggested and used refrigerated crescent rolls. I used the bottle of bacon bits (actual bacon pieces) instead of cooking up bacon, since I was feeling pretty lazy. I also cut the recipe in half and it tasted just fine. I think next time I will omit the salt because it was just too salty for me, though my husband loved it. Overall a decent weeknight recipe. I'll make this again.
Oh my wow these are good! My husband does not care for ground beef so I used ground lamb...big hit
These were absolutely delicious! We could not stop eating them. I made them for a Super Bowl party I used crescent roll dough and the recipe made 32. I sealed 2 triangles together and then cut that rectangle in half to make 2 squares Put a glob of meat in the center. The pulled all corners together to seal. They were baked about 10 minutes until golden brown. They were an absolute hit,! Great for parties!
I am sure they are great but I will have to use ready made pastry dough and make the filling.
This sounds really good. I definitely want to try this recipe. It has to be great for finger or bite sized food for a party. This will be Great For Super Bowl Sunday Parties!!!
I plan on making a batch of these as soon as I get the ingredients. I read one review and it said she freezes them on cookie sheets before baking them. I want to do the same and be able to pull out as many as I need and then bake. Can anyone tell me whether I would need to thaw before baking or just bake frozen. Thanks for your help and advice.
I made these for the Sunday games in the Man Cave and the guys loved them... The bread was very good and the bacon cheeseburger flavor was great. On the "keeper" list.
