This was a hit, especially with the four year old. If the little one eats it, and he at 10 of them, then it's got to be ok. For my personal taste, the sauce was a little bland, and next time I may try a ready made pizza or pasta sauce. I also like the copycat version of Pizza Huts' stuffed crust pizza sauce, but this is a recipe that we will make again. Thanks kellie2

These were great! I substituted cream cheese for sauce since we really don't care that much for it and used chicken...everyone here at the Family Circus gobbled them up! Even doubled the recipe! Thanks.

This was really good.<br/>I used pizza sauce, and I doubled the amount of cheese, I still think it needed a little more cheese. Instead of ground beef I used cut up meatball.

Thanks for a great family recipe. My husband and kids all liked these. Since I only had one packet of crescent rolls, I used the remaining filling on a zucchini that I sliced in half (long way) and hollowed out. This was great too!

While not the healthiest choice, this made for a very yummy dinner for our family. The LOVED the meat filling. I think I might use the filling again with a homemade bread dough recipe. THanks so much for the keeper.
