Bacon Cheeseburger Crescent Ring

A co-worker recently raved about a Pillsbury Crescent Roll Ring he and his wife cooked. It sounded delicious so I had to check it out. When I googled it, I found numerous recipes for crescent roll rings. They all looked easy but, well, we know how that sometimes can be.

I chose this recipe and, with slight modifications from the original, I gave it a try. Oh, my! It was easy and it is absolutely delicious!!!

Bacon Cheeseburger Ring

1 lb. ground beef, cooked and drained

1/3 cup ranch dressing

4 slices cooked bacon, torn into small pieces

2 cans (8 oz. each) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls

16 hamburger dill pickle slices

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Open the crescent rolls and cut the dough so that two rolls are together. On a large nonstick baking sheet, arrange crescent rolls in a circle. These slices will overlap. Make sure to leave an opening about 5-7 inches in the center.

Mix the cooked ground beef, ranch dressing and bacon together in a bowl. Coat the beef thoroughly with the dressing and bacon. Spoon this mixture on to the inner edges of the ring.

Place two pickle slices on each section of the ring. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Gently roll the dough over from the outside and attach it to the inside dough.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crescent roll crust is lightly brown. Let it sit 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
