Crescent Pizza Pockets:
1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/4 cup pizza sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll dough on cookie sheet and separate into 4 rectangles; press each into 6x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce on half of each rectangle to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons cheese; top with 6 slices pepperoni. Fold dough diagonally over filling; firmly press edges with fork to seal. Sprinkle each triangle with 1/4 teaspoon grated cheese. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve warm.
We seriously eat these once a week. They are so delicious, all buttery roll flavor and then, pizza! Two of my favorite foods together, and they're perfect for dipping!
Creamy Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin:
2 pounds pork tenderloin
montreal chicken seasoning, to taste
1 can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 can diced carrots, undrained
1 can sliced green beans, undrained
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can french onion soup, undiluted
Directions:
Liberally rub tenderloins with Montreal chicken seasoning.
Sear in frying pan coated in oil or butter.
Cut tenderloin into 1/2 inch medallions. Place in Crock Pot or slow cooker.
Cover tenderloin with canned veggies and soups, making sure to cover meat.
Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours.
When I say liberally, I mean liberally. You can use any spice blend you like, or even salt and pepper. This recipe is one I just sort of made up as I went along (as I am apt to do) and it turned out great! The soup mixes and veggies turned into this wonderful sauce, I serve this over biscuits and is another favorite!
