Messy Misters

I went to a birthday party the other day and as we sat around the table talking about food, one of the girls started telling about this recipe. The name intrigued me and the simplicity of the recipe made it even better. I made the mistake of not writing anything down, so I had to improvise.  I think I came pretty close to her recipe description. Use any kind of bbq sauce you want. I used a 1/2 recipe of my homemade honey chipotle sauce. That recipe is HERE. The men in my family thought these were fantastic! They'd be great for a quick lunch or for a snack as you're heading out the door. They're yummy! 

Messy Misters



1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup bbq sauce
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
2 containers 8-count Crescent rolls
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a skillet, saute the diced onion for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until meat is no longer pink.

Add 1 cup bbq sauce, salt and pepper and heat through. 

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

Separate the crescent rolls into triangles. Stretch the triangles a little bigger than normal.

Fit the dough into the muffin tins with some of the edges hanging over.

Fill each muffin tin with a couple of spoonfuls of the meat mixture then top with cheese.

Fold dough over to enclose beef. These will not be neat...hence the name Messy Mister.

Beat egg in a small bowl and brush tops of dough.

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. 

The line-up.

Stretch the crescents rolls a little 

larger than their normal size. I just

 pressed them out on my countertop.

Then lay them in the greased pan 

with the edges hanging over. I used

 a 12-cup muffin tin and then 4 

more cups from a 6-cup tin.

Saute the onion for a few minutes

 then add the ground beef and brown.

Add the bbq sauce and heat through.

Fill the cups with the meat mixture, 

dividing equally. Then top with a little grated cheese.

Fold up the tops. No need to be 

precise and neat. They're called Messy 

Misters for a reason. Then brush with the beaten egg.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes 

until golden brown on top. Allow 

to sit in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing.

Gobble 'em up!
