Contest-Winning Beef Stuffed Crescents Recipe image

My neighbor makes these Beef-Stuffed Crescents using jalapenos instead of green chilis and calls them "rattlesnake bites!" I love that this recipe is so easy and has so few ingredients. I've made it for potlucks and family gatherings...and never have any leftovers. -Jennifer Bumgarner, Topeka, Kansas
