Steak Packets OAMC

StephanieZ's Note:

An easy, quick, family pleasing OAMC recipe. I adapted Tish's great Chicken Packet recipe (#50767) for a new flavor. My kids beg for it & dh loves it, too! For OAMC, I make quadruple batches and freeze in four 1 qt bags. I use the blender or food processor to crush a big batch of croutons into crumbs and store them in another quart bag in the freezer to be used as needed (I find a lot of other uses for these crumbs!). Enjoy.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 8.0 packets

• 2 cups chopped cooked steak
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 chopped green onions (or 1 T chives)
• 2 tablespoons chopped roasted red peppers
• 2 -3 tablespoons milk
• salt
• 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed to crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine

Directions:

1. Mix steak, cheese, cream cheese, milk, green onions, roasted red peppers, and salt in a medium bowl to make filling. For OAMC: Freeze in a 1 qt freezer bag.
2. Crush croutons to coarse crumbs in blender or food processor. For OAMC: Freeze in another freezer bag.
3. If OAMC, thaw the filling in the refrigerator overnight before using (or quick-thaw for an hour in a pan of warm water).
4. To prepare for serving, preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Unroll crescent rolls onto two cookie sheets. Each tube contains 8 triangles of dough. Press two triangles together (you can overlap a bit to press together well so they won't separate while baking) to make a rectangle. You'll get 4 rectangles out of each tube.
6. Place about 1/4 c of the steak filling onto one end of each rectangle.
7. Fold dough over the filling and pinch edges to seal tightly.
8. Brush all sides of the packet with the melted butter.
9. Coat each packet with the crushed croutons.
10. Place packets on baking sheets.
11. Bake 20 min or until golden brown.
