Italian Meatball Crescent Buns Recipe

Ingredients

16

frozen Italian style meatballs (from 22-oz bag)

1

                        can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sweet Hawaiian Crescent Rolls (8 Count) 

1

cup (4 oz) finely shredded Italian cheese blend (from 8-oz package)

3

tablespoons butter, melted

3/4

cup Progresso™ Italian panko crispy bread crumbs

1

cup marinara pasta sauce, heated

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F.

In microwavable bowl, microwave meatballs uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Remove dough from can; do not unroll. Using sharp serrated knife, cut roll evenly into 16 rounds; carefully separate rounds. Press each round to 3 inches in diameter. Place 1 tablespoon cheese and 1 meatball on center of each dough round. Bring up sides of dough over meatball; firmly pinch edges to seal.

In small shallow bowl, place melted butter. In another shallow bowl, place bread crumbs. Dip dough balls into butter, then roll in bread crumbs. Place seam side down 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheet.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
