we used the reduced fat crescents and veganized the recipe by using veggie crumbles and diaya vegan cheese shreds. brilliant! cut the fat by 2 thirds and the calories in half!

Used ground turkey instead of beef, kids loved this dish...added my own seasoning mixture for added flavor....great tip to unfolding dough is to place package in freezer while preparing other ingredients, it makes pulling dough apart easier.

This was very good. Turned out just like the picture!!! I could only find Basil & Tomato Pasta Sauce so I added a couple cloves of minced garlic to that sauce prior to cooking it and it turned out great. This recipe is definitely going in the keeper file to have on a regular basis.
