I had some difficulty fitting the crescent rolls to my 13 x 9 pan. 2 cans were too much and 1 can was too little. I think next time I will get the larger size canned crescent rolls and see if that fits better. That said, the rest of the casserole went together very easily and had good flavor. I made this as written this time, but next time will probably make a few changes that I'm sure will affect the healthiness of the recipe. I always use light sour cream and reduced fat cheese (the 2% shredded cheddar or mexican) in my cooking, even when the recipe doesn't call for it, but will use the larger regular fat canned crescent rolls and regular Nacho flavored chips rather than the baked chips. I haven't found wehre I can buy small bags of the baked nacho chips and I hate wasting that much of the bag.
