It was ok. I think just puting the ingredients in a pillsbury cresent roll would be easier. This was a lot of work for not so much flavor. Its hard to stuff the biscuit round while keeping the toppings in and having room to press the seal together.

Tasted great but didn't bake up well since they didn't stay closed but certainly worth making.
