### Barbecue Beef Crescents
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add the barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. On a clean surface, roll out the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
5. Spoon a generous portion of the barbecue beef mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
6. Starting from the wide end, roll up each crescent, tucking in the sides as you go to encase the filling completely.
7. Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Once done, remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
