Getting Creative in the Kitchen

Well, you may disagree with the title of this post but as someone who has a very hard time NOT using a recipe when fixing supper (unless it's something I've fixed since childhood), I consider this getting creative!






I have no idea what to call it...maybe Crescent Roll Hamburger Log?

Doesn't sound too appetizing, huh?

Here's what I started with...





Have you used the Philadelphia Cooking Creme? I snagged the Italian Cheese & Herb variety with a coupon (for free) and was quite impressed with the flavor and ease of use.

It's just me so I didn't want a lot of leftovers so I used half the cream cheese and ground beef and saved the rest for another day.

I cooked up the ground beef with some salt and pepper and drained it.

I popped open a can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and laid them out slightly overlapping on a cookie sheet.

Then I combined half the beef with half of the container of cream cheese and a handful of Italian blend cheese.

I scooped the mixture onto the fat ends of the rolls and folded the narrow end over the mixture and tucked it under the other side.






I baked it at 375 for 11 minutes then sprinkled another small handful of cheese on top and turned on the broiler for about 2 minutes.






It was tasty for a quick evening meal. I added some frozen veggies and called it a night!

Not sure it's worth entering it into the Pillsbury Bake-off (http://www.bake-off.com/), but it was a good evening meal.

Don't forget to leave me a comment on my blog post from yesterday to be entered into a drawing for a Pillsbury Bake-off prize pack.

Pillsbury provided me with the free product (to give away), information, and giveaway through MyBlogSpark. All opinions in this post are my own, of course!
