These amazing 4-Ingredient Beef Crescent Puffs can literally be your life-saving recipe during a tiring week.

Prep Time 15minutes mins
Cook Time 20minutes mins

Ingredients

• 1 pound 450 g lean ground beef
• 1 cup 113 g shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cans 8 ounces each refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned and fully cooked through. Carefully drain any excess grease from the pan.
Season and Cool: Stir the garlic powder directly into the cooked beef. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Add the Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the slightly cooled beef and mix until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout.
Prep the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles.
Stuff the Pastries: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheesy beef mixture directly in the center of each dough triangle.
Seal the Puffs: Bring the corners of the dough up around the filling. Aggressively pinch the seams together to form tightly sealed, round puffs.
Arrange: Arrange the formed puffs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch or two of space between each one to allow for expansion.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are deeply golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Rest and Serve: Let the puffs cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving to allow the molten cheese center to set slightly. Enjoy!

Notes
If you want your puffs to look like they came straight from a professional bakery window, brush the tops of the raw dough with a simple egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a splash of water) right before baking. This guarantees a gorgeous, deeply glossy, and golden-brown crust!
