Instead of buying prepackaged mushrooms and having leftovers, spend less money and buy loose mushrooms. You will need about 5 ounces whole mushrooms for 1/2 cup of minced mushrooms.

Ingredients

Serves 8 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 (8-count) packages crescent rolls
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain. Add onion flakes and garlic salt.

  2. 2

    Add mushrooms and cream cheese to beef mixture; mix well. Separate crescent rolls into 8 rectangles. Spoon some beef mixture over each piece of dough. Roll to enclose filling.

  3. 3

    Press ends of rolls to seal. Place roll-ups on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cut each roll-up into quarters. Serve immediately.

A multi-bladed rolling chopper, available in most gourmet stores, is a lightning-fast way to mince mushrooms.

Great Pairings

Spinach Roll with Bacon

For an equally tasty spinach roll that is also economical, try 1/2 cup chopped ham instead of the bacon. Look for the supermarket special-baked, boiled, low-salt or country ham will work well.
