This is a really great dish for busy weeknights! We added a bit more garlic, a little salt and some fresh ground black pepper to the meat mixture. We also cut the recipe in half for serving to just hubby and I. So easy and very tasty! I usually have all of these ingredients on hand, too! This will definately make it onto our table again.

I found that the filling lacked a bit of flavour. Next time I think I will just add a bit more garlic and onions. My kids both really liked them, so I will make them again. Even though I did find trying to keep the cresent dough together to fold over the meat seemed like more work than they were really worth. But since the rest of the family liked them I guess I'll try to make them again!
