Iowa Party Bites
Components:
- One pound of ground sausage or beef
- One cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- One cup softened cream cheese
- half a cup of ranch dressing
- (Optional) 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One tsp powdered onion
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- 1 packet (16 oz) of dough for crescent rolls
Guidelines:
Warm up the oven:
- Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C.
Prepare the Meat:
- Cook the ground beef or sausage in a pan over medium heat until browned. After removing extra fat, allow it to cool somewhat.
Blend the Filling:
- The cooked beef, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, green onions (if used), onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper should all be combined in a sizable mixing bowl. Blend until thoroughly blended.
Get the Crescent Rolls ready:
- Following the directions on the package, unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into triangles.
Put the Bits Together:
- At the broad end of each crescent triangle, place approximately one spoonful of the meat and cheese mixture. Beginning at the wide end, tightly roll it up, squeezing the sides to shut.
Cook:
- Transfer the rolled bites to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown, in an oven that has been warmed.
Serve:
- To serve, let them cool somewhat. Savour it warm, and think about providing extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping!
Advice:
- You can add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick or alter the filling with your preferred spices.
- They can be prepared in advance and frozen. Simply bake them straight from the freezer, extending the cooking time by a few minutes.
