Awesome, easy dinner! Just added a side salad & additional sauce for dipping! Also it's easier if you make the 1" cuts before placing the meatballs! Definitely an addition to our rotation!

Made these for supper for my husband and me; and halved the recipe. He said they looked nice enough to serve to company. Thanks, Pillsbury.

Our family loved these. I do agree that you could actually use 6 to 8 halves on each crust. I used the cresent rolls because that's what I had on hand, maybe it would be different with the cresent sheets. The rest of the jar of sauce we put on a cooked box of rotini and it was a great dinner!
