Crescent Sloppy Joes

Take an old favorite, and give it a whole new twist when you tuck sloppy joe filling into a crescent pocket.

Ingredients

• ½ lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• ¼ cup barbecue sauce
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1 oz)
• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon sesame seed

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in barbecue sauce; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in cheese.
2. If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Press each into 8x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles. Press each into 8x4-inch rectangle. Cut each in half crosswise, making 8 squares.
3. Place about 2 rounded tablespoons beef mixture on center of each square. Fold dough over filling, forming triangles; press edges with fork to seal. With knife, cut small slits in tops for steam to escape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with egg; sprinkle with sesame seed.
4. Bake 11 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
