Ingredients
Instructions
- Add powdered onion soup mix to ground beef and fry until browned.
- Open crescent rolls and cut each triangle in half; flatten out and place on wax paper.
- Take one spoonful of beef mixture and place in the center of each crescent triangle.
- Fold the ends of the crescent roll up to cover the meat and form a triangle.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding shredded cheese to the beef mixture before wrapping it in the crescent rolls. You can also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If you don't have onion soup powder, a mix of sautéed onions and garlic powder can be a great alternative. For a twist, try adding some chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Serving Suggestions
These beef triangles make a fantastic appetizer or snack, perfect for gatherings. Serve them with a side of ranch or barbecue sauce for dipping. They also pair well with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup, such as Busy Day Soup, for a complete meal. Consider garnishing with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover beef triangles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crescent rolls soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the beef triangles before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked beef triangles. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag once solid. When ready to bake, you can cook them directly from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I serve with beef triangles?
Beef triangles are versatile and pair well with various sides. Consider serving them with a simple green salad, crispy fries, or a comforting soup like Beef-Broccoli-Potato Bake. You can also offer a selection of dipping sauces, such as ranch, mustard, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
How do I know when the beef triangles are done?
The beef triangles are done when they are golden brown and the crescent dough is fully cooked. You can check the internal temperature of the beef mixture to ensure it's at least 160°F (71°C). Keep an eye on the color of the dough as well, which should be nicely browned.
