Jalapeno Crescent Rolls
1 can crescent dough
2 tablespoons cream cheese (this amount will vary; really depends on how much you want to use)
1-2 fresh jalapenos (you can use canned if you prefer, but fresh is always best)
3 or 4 strips of bacon (again, depends on how much bacon you want in your crescent rolls)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Chop the jalapenos into small pieces, removing all of the seeds from the inside. Cook the bacon to your preference of doneness, cool and then break into small pieces. Roll out your crescent roll dough. It’s already perforated into triangles, but to get 16 bite-size stuffed rolls, you will need to cut each triangle in half. Layer a small dollop of cream cheese, a piece of jalapeno and then bacon. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
