Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Meat:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until browned. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as per the package instructions.
- Assemble the Bites:
- Place about a tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll it up tightly, starting from the wide end and pinching the sides to seal.
- Bake:
- Place the rolled bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, and consider serving with extra ranch dressing for dipping!
Tips:
- You can customize the filling with your favorite spices or add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- These can be made ahead of time and frozen. Just bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
