Roll up hotdogs and a slice of cheese in the cresent rolls and bake.

You could also do bacon, ham, turkey, etc.

Use ground beef that you flavor (and you could do diced up veggies), cook it all the way though, then smash the dough flat, fill the center with the cook beef (guess you could do any type of meat), then fold over abd bake - kind of like a mini-calzone. Or you could do it flat, spread it around to almost the edge, then lay another flattened piece of dough over it, then fork it shut all the way around so that it looks like an uncrustable, and then bake it off as well.

My favorite for crescent rolls: cook diced chicken breasts and onion until done and add a block of cream cheese. After it melts, unroll the crescent rolls and add the chicken/cheese, fold over and pinch closed (you are left with a triangle). Bake until done. These are delicious!

I have everything I need to bake a chicken pot pie but no pie crust. I have about 10 frozen canned biscuits. Can I use one to make a pie shell for potpie?
