Wow, this was really good. I did make a couple of changes which really didn't affect the end result. I doubled the beef and used a whole onion and green pepper, chopped. I added about 4 cloves of chopped garlic, some seasoned salt and coarse ground pepper. I doubled the breadcrumbs and barbeque sauce. For the crescent rolls, I used two 8 oz packages and used the rectangle--two triangle rolls--for each bun. I just rolled out the perforations. So, I got 4 buns per package. I actually added about 1/3 cup beef mixture to each bun. I forgot the cheese--oops! I twisted the tops and sides together, fixed any holes and brushed with the egg yolk. Baked the same and they were DELICIOUS! I hope my changes make sense. I knew my DSs would want these meatier. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were really easy to put together. Kinda tasted like sloppy joe in a crescent roll. Think next time I might make it a lil bit wetter though. Thanks for sharing this!
