Crescent Grinders



1 Tbsp. olive oil
½ cup red and/or green bell peppers, sliced
½ cup red or yellow onion, sliced
6 Steak-Ums broken into pieces about 1” square
Cheddar Cheese
1 roll (8 count) crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a frying pan heat olive oil.  Add bell peppers and onions.  Saute until limp.  Add steak-ums.  Saute over med. high heat until steak-ums are cook throughout (about 2-3 minutes).  Line a sheet pan with foil sprayed with non-stick spray.  Open crescents and lay out on foil.  Sprinkle heavy with cheese.  Evenly top with meat mixture.  Roll up.  Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crescents are done and lightly browned.

Comments:  These are simply delicious!  I used a mixture of the red and green peppers.  I found these in Walmart in the freezer section already sliced with the onions already added.  I used about 1 cup of this combination.  The steak-ums work great, but you can also use thin sliced roast beef from the deli or lunch meat dept.  For my cheese I used a Colby-Cheddar Shredded Mixture and put it on heavy.  When adding the meat mixture, you want to pile it on.  When you roll the crescents, it will probably only have one overlap of the crescent point.  Some of the mixture may fall out, just push it back in.  I served mine with a choice of mayo, mustard and/or ranch dressing.

Sloppy Joes


1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper (green or red), chopped
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. water
1 - 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/4 cup ketchup
6 rolls or buns


In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion and peppers until meat is brown and vegetables are tender.  Drain.  Stir in tomato sauce, water, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and ketchup.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 5 minutes.  Serves 6


Comments:  When wanted a recipe for a healthy Sloppy Joes and ran across one in one of my Better Homes & Gardens Cookbooks.  I made a couple of changes.  I made my own tomato sauce by running a can of tomatoes in sauce through the blender.  I used garlic instead of garlic salt and added the ketchup.  For my buns I used Bagel Thins with Everything.  This added to the flavor but also kept the dish healthy.  Taste wise - this is delicious!  I never once noticed the elimination of salt.
