crescent rolls from scratch<\/a> is a great tool to have in your arsenal. Aside from recipes like this, crescent roll dough makes a great base for easy appetizers.<\/p>\nIf I use extra-lean beef do I still need to drain it?<\/h3>\n It\u2019s up to you. Once the beef is cooked, tilt the pan and scrape a space in the beef with your spatula. If there\u2019s no visible quantity of beef grease pooling, you can probably get away with not draining it. Usually, even with extra-lean, there\u2019s enough grease to make the extra draining step worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We all loved this. We thought the flavour was very good. And it's easy.
