Made these for the first time last night. EASY and delicious! These are "Man Pleasers". Will definately make again ... might add a little more cheese but our family is cheezy!!!

Made these tonight for family dinner. They were good and not too hard to put together. I used the crescent rounds, so only made 16, not 24.

We added Italian seasoning and garlic powder instead of the oregano and they turned out amazing! We served them with marinara sauce since some comments on here said they were dry, but I didn't think they were dry at all. We should have made more! They went fast!

These were tasty. After reading other comments that these were too dry, I added maybe 1/4 cup of pizza sauce to the filling. I think that did the trick because they weren't dry.

I always add a little bit more pepperoni but otherwise are great and can't make them fast enough!
