Ingredients

  • 2 8 ounce tubes premade crescent roll dough (I used the crescent roll sheets but you can use any kind)
  • 8 ounces 1/2 can Old El Paso refried beans
  • 2 ounces 1/2 can Old El Paso green chiles
  • 4 ounces chihuahua cheese cubed
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 ounces salted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • chopped tomatoes and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Spray a cast iron skillet with nonstick spray or coat with butter.
  • On a floured surface, roll out crescent dough. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and line the edge of the skillet with the dough.
  • On the inside of the skillet, surrounded by the dough balls, spoon out the bean dip and spread to fill the center.
  • Top the beans with the green chilis and then both types of cheese.
  • Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic pepper and cilantro.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and dough is cooked/beginning to brown.
  • Switch the oven to broil and allow to broil for about 5 minutes. Watch this step closely to make sure it doesn't burn. You want the rolls to brown and the cheese to bubble, but you don't want to char your bread!
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The bread and skillet will be very hot, so be careful!
  • Serve warm garnished with more cilantro and tomatoes. Enjoy!
