Today I'm sharing an easy and kid friendly meal idea!

These Cheesy Sloppy Joe Crescent Rolls are so tasty! The sloppy joe mixture is my mom's recipe that we all grew up with and love. It's more of a barbecue sauce flavor sloppy joe, but you could use your own sauce recipe instead.

The sloppy joe mixture and cheese are a great combo in these crescent rolls. We've even made them with ground turkey instead of ground beef for a more affordable meal.

Kids love them and since they're quick to make, it's great for weeknight dinners or lunch during the weekend.

This is such a great recipe for kids to help with. Depending on age, they can dice the onion, help measure, separate crescent triangles, fill them and more.
