Here is one of my favorite ways to use crescent rolls!!
Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Breakfast Rolls
2 packages/cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
4 0z cream cheese, softened
1/4 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Cup canned pumkin (Libby’s)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll crescent rolls to form 4 rectangles placed side by side. Pinch seams together to form one long rectangle. Place cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg into a mixer; beat until well combined. Spread mixture over crescents leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges. Starting at long end, roll up then cut into 1 inch pieces. Place around 2 9 inch cake pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. I left the centers open so the rolls form a circle.
2. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Frost warm rolls with cream cheese frosting recipe below.
Frosting
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon canned pumpkin (Libby’s)
1. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl until smooth. Spread over warm rolls.

My kids love crescent dogs.
Love to use Pillsbury Crescent Rolls to make a great veggie pizza. Spread the flattened and baked dough with a seasoned cream cheese mixture and top with chopped fresh vegies of your choice and plenty of cheese. Yum!
I like to make crescents with shaved dark chocolate, chopped almonds and a little brie inside! Yum!
I like to make pigs in a blanket
I make Antipasto Squares. One roll of crescents spread on the bottom of an 8×13 pan. Layer with your favorite Italian meats and cheeses…top with some sliced roasted red peppers and brush with egg wash. Put another roll of crescents on the top, brush with more egg wash and bake at 375degrees.
When cool, cut into squares…great for a Superbowl party.
My favorite way is plain. However, easy empanadas are yummy too. Fill a triangle with cooked seasoned beef and cheese. Place another triangle on top and seal. Bake in the oven until the crescent rolls are golden.
Wrap a little smokie sausage in a crescent roll and bake!
We always just have them plain for Thanksgiving!
We like to wrap things in our crescent rolls…hot dogs, sandwich meat, cheese, veggies. My favorite, though, is left over ham, onion, mushroom, and swiss cheese…mmmm!
My favorite: surrounding a wheel of brie and apricot jam/jelly and baked. Then dipping apples in that. OMG. My favorite homemade party appetizer 🙂
I love crescent rolls just about any way you could possibly cook them, but I must say one of my favorites is to use them as a crust for Chicken, Beef, or Turkey pie.
I like to wrap them up with a bacon, garlic, and butter mixture…mmmm!
We love these things… I really like to fill them with a few chocolate chips and sprinkle some sugar on them… what a fast warm desert. We have also added peanutbutter with the chocolate and some cherry pie filling with powdered sugar sprinkled on, just as the come out of the oven!!
Blogged about it!

Chicken pot pie, and just as plain dinner rolls
I like to use it for the crust on a veggie pizza ~ The sauce is a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream with minced onion and dill, and then on top of that, raw cut up veggies and shredded cheddar.
My family has always liked crescent rolls wrapped around hotdogs. Over Christmas we made a stromboli with them. I rolled the crescent rolls into a rectangle, filled the center with barbequed chicken, Mozerella cheese and pineapple. The folded the edges in to make a top crust. Very interesting to read everyone else’s favorites.
I like Ham ‘N Eggs Brunch Braid. Definitely an impressive way to serve scrambled eggs! The cream cheese keeps the eggs moist inside a golden crust. Plus the kids love to do the braiding part.
I like to stuff the croissant rolls with chicken and a cream & cheese sauce. Its really yummy!
Can’t wait to make your recipe with crescent rolls! YUM!
One of my favorite ways to make/eat crescent rolls is just to slice them up in long strips, douse them in a butter/cinnamon/sugar mixture, twist them up and have perfectly EASY “CinnaStix”. So good!
my children loveeeee hot dogs and cheese wrapped in a crescent roll!
I love using them to make Pampered Chef’s taco ring, because that’s the meal I’d made the night my husband proposed (which explains why he didn’t actually eat any of it that night…he was too nervous!).
Pigs in a blanket, dipped in mustard! Hands down all time favorite! Think I might make these for the superbowl.
Brie wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked until golden. Yum!
One of my favorite crescent roll appetizers is Bacon Cream Cheese Crescents — essentially mix together cream cheese, some crumbled bacon, and chives, spread it on the crescent rolls, cut the triangles in half and roll them up. They are always a hit.
greatttttttttttttt idea for my things
would be great for pizza
We call them “Chicken Roll Ups”, basically shredded chicken, butter, cream cheese, and seasonings, mixed together. Then rolled up in a crescent roll.
I decided to blog about this one too so here is the URL!

I love using stuffing them with chicken and a sour cream gravy and then baking them and smothering them with more of the gravy like a biscuits and gravy but with chicken. I also love using them to make delish orange rolls complete with a wonderful orange icing! hits the spot! Not too sweet yet satisfies the sweet tooth in me!
I have this recipes for a chicken broccoli casserole type thing that has a layer of crescent rolls along the bottom, then the chicken/broccoli mixture, then more crescent rolls in a lattice on top. It’s really yummy. I think it came from a Taste of Home magazine.
Veggie Pizza–rolled out on crust topped with cream cheese/mayo/ranch mixture and chopped veggies
I love these plain with butter and jam 🙂
I like the chicken pockets with veggies and cream cheese. But I also am remembering a childhood favorite called Taco Pie.
