"Kid-friendly" absolutely! ( And maybe husband-friendly as well! ) One of my sons from the time he was a teenager through early adulthood requested I make these every so often and not one were ever left over! To shorten the process, I substituted 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce for the paste/water/ketchup mixture. Still very good and maybe even better. Great idea for a casual weekend meal. Time and temperature are both right on the money. I personally did NOT find I had way too much meat mixture as some other reviewers did.

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?
These were easy to make and so flavorful. Very yummy!
Very easy and delicious! Great for all ages!
excelent. loved it :)
