Tasty Tuesday ~ Crescent Roll Chili Cups

Christian lifestyle· Hospitality· Recipes

What’s more “real life” than leftovers? 🙂 My life off line includes a lot of leftovers AND making simple (usually also cheap) ingredients go a long way. 
Since this past weekend here was frigid, I did what any self respecting Appalachian-dwelling woman should do … I made a large pot of chili, heavy on the beans. 🙂 I’ll admit that the chili wasn’t award winning, but it was the leftovers-inspired creation that got the rave reviews!
On Saturday I took store brand crescent rolls and wrapped each one inside a muffin tin I had sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I put in a couple of spoonfuls of my less-than-stellar-chili and topped it with a generous clump of Monterrey Jack/Cheddar mixed cheese. I popped those cups in the oven at 375 for 12 and a half minutes, and called them “Crescent Roll Chili Cups!” 
 
The family gobbled them up for lunch, and a certain bottomless pit of a teen boy asked if I would make another batch. I did what any real, self respecting Appalachian-dwelling woman would do … I made another batch and smiled as my boy gobbled them up! 
That’s what’s going on off line in my kitchen. What’s happening in yours?

    These look YUMMY – haven't had chili in a while so I'll plan that soon so we can try these! Thanks for the recipe!

    Yeah, these look GREAT!! I love having chili and make it often so this will be a wonderful follow up with the leftovers 🙂
    This weekend in my kitchen there will be some sort of baking going on… not sure what yet, but it will happen! 🙂

    looks awesome. I also make either chili or a bean soup I wonder if that would work in the rolls.

    It's worth experimenting. We're having stew for supper tonight, and I'm thinking "Crescent Roll Stew Cups" may be in our future.

    This is brilliant!  Do you think they would freeze and reheat well?  Or would the crescent roll get mushy?
