Newlywed in the Kitchen {2016} Recipe #10: Crystal Cattle's Green Chile Hamburger Crescent Rolls

Some of you guys know my friend Crystal Cattle.  For those of you who don't, let's take a minute to appreciate the fact that a New Mexican (me) stole a green chile recipe from a Canadian (her)!  She posted this recipe a while back and it sounded easy and tasty.  Plus, her beef ranching/corn farming husband in Iowa approved, so I figured it was something The Boy from Texas would be on board with. And he was!  I'm on board too because these babies are ready in about 20 minutes and after working all day and trying to keep BB out of my way long enough to have something edible, fast is my friend.

Crystal Cattle's Green Chile Hamburger Crescent Rolls

1 tube crescent rolls (I used the buttery kind...she used reduce fat)
1 t black peppper
1 t garlic salt (I used garlic powder)
2 oz cream cheese
1 pound ground beef
1/4 C chopped onions (I just used minced onions)
4 oz chopped green chile

Heat oven to 375.

Brown hamburger meat, add onions, pepper, and garlic.  Drain fat from meat once browned.

Add cream cheese and green chile to cooked meat.  Stir until cream cheese is melted.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick oil.  Place squares of the crescent rolls on the cookie sheet. You'll have four squares and you'll have to pins the seams together.  (I didn't read this very well when I was cooking and I did them as 8 triangles rather than 4 squares.) 

Scoop hamburger mixture into the center of the crescent roll.  Fold corners towards center and pinch seams.  (I just rolled mine up and pinched the corners.)  It's okay if a little hamburger is sticking out.

Bake for 10-11 minutes or until bread is cooked.

Mmm, these look good and I'm always looking for new ways to use ground beef. Will definitely try them!
