These Crescent Wrapped Meatballs are so quick and easy to make. Serve them as an appetizer, finger foods at your next party, or as a meal themselves.
Ingredients
- 24 frozen packaged meatballs, thawed
- 2 packages (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1¼ cups grated Italian-blend cheese or mozzarella and provolone
- marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees.
- CUT meatballs in half. Unroll the crescent dough. Cut each crescent into 3 equal-size parts. Place a pinch of cheese over the dough. Place meatball half over cheese. Wrap dough around the meatball, pinching and positioning to completely cover.
- LAY wrapped meatballs on a large baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.
- SERVE with marinara sauce for dipping.
Quick and simple recipes like this one have become my go-to during our busy summer.
Tips:
- Roll two crescent rolls out together as a rectangle and cut into 6 equal portions. It’s easier than trying to figure out how to split a triangle into thirds
- Leave the meatballs whole and cut the rectangles into 3 equal portions for bigger servings. This is what I did since we enjoyed our Crescent Wrapped Meatballs as a meal instead of as an appetizer.
