Bacon and Mushroom Bundles


 It was an hour before we were to leave for a party 
when I remembered that I'd promised to bring an appetizer. 
I found a roll of crescent dough and used what I had in the fridge to make these bundles.
They turned out so good I've made them again.
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped into 1/8 inch pieces
  • 6-8 large mushrooms chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 package cream cheese
  • 2  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (opt.)
  • 2 tubes Pillsbury Crescent roll refrigerated dough
  1. Fry up bacon pieces in a pan until nice and brown.
  2. Remove from pan to paper toweling.
  3. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from pan and add 1tablespoon of butter.
  4. Add onions and mushrooms to pan and saute' until soft.
  5. Add cooked bacon, Worcestershire and cream cheese and cook, stirring gently until cream cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. Open tubes of crescent roll dough and pat each out into a rectangle, pushing the perforations together.*
  8. Cut into squares.
  9. Add a tablespoon of filling to each square.
  10. Pull corners of dough together to the middle and pinch edges closed. *Alternately, you can separate the perforated triangles, place the filling on the wide end and roll each into a crescent roll shape making sure the filling is completely enclosed. They will be a little larger this way. As you will notice from the pictures, I've done it both ways.
  11. Place bundles on baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  12. Serve hot with Red Pepper Jelly. You can also make these ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake them, or bake them ahead and reheat in a warm oven.

  7. These are essentially what we in Texas call "kolaches." No, they're not proper Danish kolaches; Texas kolaches are more like pigs-in-blankets. We have our own take. And you can put anything in them, so don't feel you need to stop at bacon and mushrooms (scrambled egg and spinach is good. As is sausage and jalapeño).

  9. Funny story- I make so much from scratch; that my children don't know about many prepared foods. Over the weekend I had bought a roll of pre-made crescent rolls, trying to mix up the menu a bit. My children were completely fascinated with the cresents! First the packaging, then the shape and taste, they realized that they were a differnt shaped biscuit. Then one says, "You could have made these, using the recipe for the snuggly dogs, you didn't need to buy them!". So funny! This is a great little idea, for a fun little side dish; I would probably have to omit the mushroom for Hubby though.

  13. I made these but with the dough from the chili pocket recipe...to die for! This filling is amazing! I mixed in some Philadelphia cream cheese and some tatziki to give in a little extra flavour kick. DELICIOUS!!

  15. I don't purchase frozen processed bread dough. Would you think this could be made with the Air or Plain Buns recipe?

    1. This recipe is made with prepared Refrigerated dough, not frozen dough but I don't see any reason why it cannot be made with your own refrigerated dough recipe. If you don't have one that you like, Kathy, Lovella and Charlotte each have a recipe that you can find in the index. If you go to Baking with Yeast, they are listed under refrigerator dough.
