BACON JALAPENO CRESCENT ROLL UPS

I absolutely love the combination of bacon and jalapeno. The smokiness from the bacon is such a great complement to the spicy jalapeno. They work so well together in these crescent roll ups, which are perfect for a holiday appetizer or as a meal!

First, you’ll want to cook the bacon. As I mentioned above, you can use your favorite method of cooking bacon. I like to cook mine in a 425 degree F oven for about 15-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon, until it’s cooked but not too crispy.

Next, mix together the cream cheese mixture which is cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, and green onions.

Ingredients

8 ounce crescent dough sheet

5 slices bacon

4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature

2 tbsp milk

3 green onions diced

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 jalapeno diced

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese shredded mozzarella or Colby jack also works

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Cook the bacon on the stovetop, or your favorite method, until cooked. Chop into small pieces.

In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, milk, green onions, garlic powder, and salt.

Lay the crescent dough sheet out onto a large baking sheet.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the dough sheet.

Sprinkle with chopped bacon, diced jalapeno, and shredded cheese.

Roll the dough sheet up like cinnamon rolls.

Cut the roll in half and then cut each half in four pieces, for eight roll ups total.

Place the roll ups onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve and enjoy!
