Description
Savor Delicious Turkey Bacon & Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls—crispy, flaky rolls filled with creamy cheese and savory turkey bacon, perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb turkey bacon (cooked and crumbled) – The turkey bacon provides a smoky, savory flavor and a satisfying crunch, making it a healthier alternative to traditional pork bacon.
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened) – Cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture that binds the other ingredients together, making each bite irresistible.
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (drained) – Adding a mild spiciness and a burst of freshness, Rotel enhances the overall flavor of the filling.
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls – This convenient ingredient forms the dough into which you’ll roll the filling, offering a flaky, golden exterior.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) – While optional, adding cheddar cheese brings an extra layer of flavor and creaminess that beautifully complements the other ingredients.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet to ensure the rolls don’t stick.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb cooked and crumbled turkey bacon, 8 oz softened cream cheese, and the drained 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies. If desired, add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for added creaminess and flavor. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well-combined.
- Unroll crescent dough: Take your 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls and carefully unroll the dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as marked.
- Spoon the mixture: Place a generous spoonful of the turkey bacon mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this might make rolling difficult.
- Roll them up: Gently roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking in the ends as you go to secure the filling inside the dough. This helps to prevent any filling from escaping during baking.
- Bake the rolls: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. The delightful aroma that fills your kitchen will be a hint of the tasty treat that’s coming!
