Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (190°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Filling:
   • In a large pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion, stirring occasionally until the meat is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
   • Stir in the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix the Cheese Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Prepare the Dough:
   • Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into squares or triangles.
   • Place about 1 tablespoon of the meat and cheese mixture in the center of each piece of dough. Fold and seal the edges to form tightly wrapped bundles.
5. Bake:
   • If desired, brush the wrapped bites with melted butter for added flavor.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked and golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
