The Best Crescent Roll Casserole of the Year

The delicious crescent roll recipes don't stop there! Check out the video for our favorite crescent roll recipe of this year! 

DID YOU KNOW?

Refrigerated crescent rolls were invented by Pillsbury in 1965. They get their name from their French counterpart, the croissant, which is a similarly shaped pastry. In fact, “crescent” is the literal translation of the French word “croissant”.

To promote the launch of crescent rolls, the company debuted the Pillsbury Doughboy, also known as Poppin’ Fresh, in 1965. The first commercial featuring the Pillsbury Doughboy was made using stop-action claymation. The clay model that was used in the commercial cost $16,000 to create! The new mascot became so popular that a 7-inch Pillsbury Doughboy doll was released 1972.

Crescent rolls come in over 8 different varieties, including seamless dough sheets, and are a very popular ingredient in casserole recipes.

This looks amazing! Crescent rolls are so fun to cook with and this would be a fun alternative to ordering pizza.

This looks really good. Hard to resist a dish with crescent rolls.

What a fun way to use crescent rolls, I love the display. This would make a fun potluck recipe!

You wouldn't happen to have a video of this recipe, would you? I don't understand the dough in the pan. You talk about the tips being over the edge of the pan, but then you say to fold the tips over. Say what? I can't visualize.

Hi blondisb, unfortunately we don't have a video for this recipe. The dough triangles are placed in the pan in a sunburst pattern (with the tips hanging over the edge of the pan). Once the filling is added, the tips are folded over the filling and the tips meet in the middle. Our Test Kitchen recipe http//www.allfreecasserolerecipes.com/Chicken-Cass == eroles-Recipes/Chicken-Alfredo-Crescent-Casserole uses crescent rolls in a similar way, so hopefully that description will help as well! - Natalie, Editor of AllFreeCasseroleRecipes

this is much tastier if you use jimmy dean sausage (regular) in place of the ground meat.

I made this last week, just ate the last leftover piece for lunch! It's very good, reheats well too. My husband thought it needed a bit more zip, maybe some sausage or pepperoni, but it's a good go to recipe for a quick comfort food fix.
