Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, additional cheese, or a dollop of sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. - Prepare the Dough
Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as marked on the package. - Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, chopped green onions, sour cream, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended. - Assemble the Bites
Spoon a small amount of the filling onto the wider end of each crescent dough triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, starting at the wide end and working toward the narrow point, sealing the edges to create a bite-sized roll. - Bake to Perfection
Place the assembled bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed. - Serve Warm
Remove the Iowa Party Bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two. Garnish with optional toppings if desired and serve warm.
