How to Make Iowa Party Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or any seasoning blend of your choice)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella)
• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Sour cream, salsa, or ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions:

Cook the Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef in a pan over medium heat. Remove extra fat. Add a little water and taco spice (or your preferred seasoning blend). Simmer until aromatic and well blended.

Get the Crescent Rolls ready:

Depending on the shape you choose, roll out the crescent roll dough and divide it into triangles or squares. To create space for the filling, slightly flatten each slice.

Fill the Dough:

Using a spoon, place a tiny bit of ground beef in the middle of each piece of dough. Add some shredded cheese on top.Pinch the edges to seal the dough after folding or rolling it to completely surround the filling. To bake the bites, put the filled dough pieces on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a touch of salt, onion powder, and garlic powder after brushing the tops with melted butter.

Bake:

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown, in a preheated oven.

Serve:

Allow the bits to cool slightly after baking. For an added flavor boost, serve them with your preferred dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, salsa, or sour cream.
