Dinner Poppers image

I could eat jalapeno poppers all day long, but who wants to say they had seven stuffed peppers for dinner? For this meal-in-one, I use poblanos for my husband and son, and hotter peppers for my daughter and me. -Sherri Jerzyk, Tucson, Arizona

I'm not a big fan of crescent rolls, but these were actually pretty good! The filling was flavorful and the dough was flaky.

The filling was a little bland. I would add some more spices next time.

These were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These dinner poppers were a hit with my family! They were super easy to make and the ingredients were things I already had on hand. I loved that I could customize them with different fillings and toppings. I will definitely be making these again.
