Savory Roll-ups

Susan shares her mother-in-law's recipe and technique for these delicious roll-ups. To determine the right amount of savory ingredients, Susan uses the "smell factor," which we're sure you'll agree is a foolproof way to prepare this dish. These roll-ups taste great, look beautiful and smell wonderful. Lucky for us Susan's husband encouraged her to keep the recipe in the family.

Print recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg crescent rolls
  • 1 lb ground chicken (can use turkey or beef)
  • 1-1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1-1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1-1/2 tsp dried tarragon
  • 1 rounded tbsp ketchup
  • 1 rounded tbsp regular spicy mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (salt-free)
  • non-stick vegetable spray

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 9" x 13" baking pan

 

How-to

Preheat oven to 365 degrees

  1. Put ground chicken in a bowl and separate with a fork (can use turkey or beef)
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients one at a time, stirring the mixture after you add each one.  Smell the bowl (yes, smell it) after you add each ingredient to make sure you can smell the seasoning you just added.  If you can't really smell it, add a little more
  3. Open the container of rolls.  Flatten out into a rectangle with your hands and squeeze the seams together
  4. Spread the mixture out evenly on top of this rectangle
  5. Roll the rectangle up the long way
  6. With a serrated knife, cut the roll first in the middle, and then cut 4 pieces on each side, for a total of 8 pieces
  7. Spray a large baking pain (9 x 13") with non-stick spray and put rolls in on their sides without touching each other.  They will look like spirals of meat and pastry
  8. Bake at 365 degrees for 35 minutes.  May need to bake a little longer in order for the rolls to darken

    Not as good as my mom make's them but still pretty tasty. I used ground turkey and some A1 sauce. Next time I'll use a little more sauce to make them a little less dry. (Nov 20, 2008 10:05:08 PM)

    These are great! It was sooo easy to make them, and everyone LOVED them. (My husband told me he wanted to eat the whole roll, he thought they were so good.) This is definitely getting added to the rotation. Thank you Susan! (Oct 30, 2008 7:35:29 PM)

    These are truly a keeper; I made them after church along with some other things and they are delish! (Dec 7, 2008 5:36:03 PM)

    I made this this weekend (Nov 8) for my roomates. I sadly could not find any ground chicken so I used ground turkey instead but it still came out great. My roomates were very impressed and very well fed. (Nov 10, 2008 9:39:59 AM)

    Also! When I attended an election party a couple of days ago, I wanted to bring some appetizers and tried something slightly different with these. I used the same amount of chicken mixture, spread over two packages of crescent rolls instead of one. They were still delicious, but much more snack-sized. (Nov 6, 2008 9:45:51 PM)
