Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 2 long rectangles. Press each into 12x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut lengthwise into 2 long rectangles. Press each into 12x4-inch rectangle.
  • 2
    Spread dressing over each rectangle to edges. Sprinkle each with bacon, cheddar cheese and onions. Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle; press edge to seal. With serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 slices; place cut side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3
    Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Tip: Bacon grease is a mess. For easy cleanup, carefully pour it into a “bowl” made of aluminum foil, then fold in edges and toss once grease has cooled. More smart foil tips.
  • tip 2
    Use a very sharp serrated knife to slice the rolled-up crescents cleanly and easily.
  • tip 3
    Swap cheddar cheese for shredded provolone, Swiss or Colby-Jack cheese, if desired.
  • tip 4
    Making these appetizers for a party? Prep them as soon as the first guests arrive so that, once everyone is present, the appetizers will be ready to serve warm from the oven!
