Davy Crocketts


2 cans crescent rolls
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans whole green chiles
1 to 2 cups shredded Mexican or Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream or to taste
2 or 3 stalks scallions, chopped
Sliced black olives

Preheat oven to 375 degrees or the temperature required on the crescent roll can. Saute ground
beef until no longer pink.

Open 1 can of crescent rolls and separate dough into rectangles and place them at least 1 inch
apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Slit each of four green chiles down its length and open it up to flatten it. Lay one chile on each
rectangle of crescent roll dough. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the drained ground beef equally
over the 4 rectangles. Top each with chopped onion to taste. Top each with at least 1/4 cup
cheese.

Open second can of rolls and separate into rectangles. Gently lay a rectangle over each Davy
Crockett. You don’t need to stretch the dough down to cover the edges. The dough will bake
down and cover most of it. Bake as long as it says on the can to bake crescent rolls. Pass the
sour cream, chopped green onion, shredded cheese and sliced olives so that each person may
top their own Davy Crockett.
