Recipe: Texas-Style Beef and Cheese Crescent Rolls

Ingredients Needed:

• Crescent dough
• Melted butter
• Swiss cheese
• Black Forest beef, thinly sliced
• Poppy seeds
• Dijon mustard
• Worcestershire sauce

Cooking Steps:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by coating it with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2. On a clean surface, unroll the crescent dough. Arrange it with the longest edge closest to you and press the seams together to form a single rectangle. Stretch the dough gently until it measures about 10 x 13 inches.
3. Lay 6 slices of Swiss cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch border around the edges. Layer the thinly sliced beef on top of the cheese, overlapping slightly. Cover the beef with the remaining cheese slices.
4. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly, enclosing the beef and cheese inside. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the roll.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 18 even slices. Arrange these slices in the prepared baking dish, spacing them out evenly for even cooking.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, poppy seeds, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until well mixed. Drizzle this mixture over the roll-ups in the dish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these rolls warm for the best flavor and texture!
