Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add sour cream, celery soup, and crumbled fried onion rings to the drained, cooked hamburger; mix well.
- Flatten each crescent roll on a flat surface one at a time.
- Place a large spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each roll.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding shredded cheese to the meat mixture. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. If you prefer a bit of heat, mix in some diced jalapeños. Be cautious not to overfill the crescent rolls to avoid leaks during baking. If you have leftover filling, use it in a pasta dish or a baked potato topping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crescent hamburgers with a side of crispy salad or some seasoned fries for a complete meal. They also pair wonderfully with Warm Potato Salad for a hearty touch. For a fun presentation, consider serving them with a dipping sauce, such as barbecue or ranch dressing, for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but they may lose some crispiness.
