Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Tip: Bacon grease is a mess. For easy cleanup, carefully pour it into a “bowl” made of aluminum foil, then fold in edges and toss once grease has cooled. More smart foil tips.
  • tip 2
    Use a very sharp serrated knife to slice the rolled-up crescents cleanly and easily.
  • tip 3
    Swap cheddar cheese for shredded provolone, Swiss or Colby-Jack cheese, if desired.
  • tip 4
    Making these appetizers for a party? Prep them as soon as the first guests arrive so that, once everyone is present, the appetizers will be ready to serve warm from the oven!
