Storage and reheating tips
Have leftovers? Don’t worry; storing these crescent rings is simple! Place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. For longer storage, you can freeze them before baking—just make sure to wrap them well to avoid freezer burn.
Helpful cooking tips
- Make sure your beef is well-seasoned to truly enhance the flavor. The ranch seasoning is key here, so don’t skimp!
- If you want to add extra vegetables, finely chop some bell peppers or onions and mix them in with the beef—this adds a nice crunch and flavor.
- For an even flaky finish, consider refrigerating the crescent rolls for a few minutes after assembling and before baking.
Creative twists
Why stick to just one flavor when you can mix it up? Try swapping in spicy jalapeños for a kick, or substituting the ground beef for ground chicken or a meat alternative if you prefer. You could even incorporate different cheeses, like pepper jack for heat or mozzarella for gooeyness. The crescent roll dough can be stuffed with burrito-inspired fillings, too—think seasoned chicken, guacamole, and cheese for a fun twist!
