Crazy Good Crescent Squares!

These puppies, are amazingly simple to whip up and work great for parties, pot lucks, or dinner! With the help of buttery ready made crescents you can pile on whatever toppings you love, and switch it up a number of ways. This is the way I made it this time, use things you have on hand or make it like mine. I loved the addition of some buttery avocados I needed to use up. Dig in to this crazy good dish!!

Adapted from a recipe by Sara Mayer

2 tubes Pillsbury crescent rolls
1- 1 1/2 cups bbq sauce ( I love to use Jack Daniel's Original No. 7 recipe)
1 pkg southwestern ready made refrigerated chicken strips
6 slices of cooked bacon or turkey bacon (crumbled)
2-3 cups of cheese, sharp cheddar or colby jack shredded
1/2 of good quality ranch dressing( I use Newman's)
1/2 teaspoon pico de gallo chile seasoning, or chili powder
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 roma tomato seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 ripe avocado chopped

Preheat oven to 375*
Roll the crescent rolls out and place them on a cookie sheet 17x11x1. Pinch 2 sheets together  to create 1 large dough. Bake 8-11 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and turn on broiler.


Spread the barbeque sauce over dough. Sprinkle the chicken, cheese and bacon over the top. Place the cookie sheet under the broiler until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.


Combine the ranch dressing and spicy chili powder in a small bowl. Pour into re-sealable bag and cut off a small tip at the end of the bag to make a pastry bag. Drizzle the dressing over the top and garnish with avocado, green onions,tomato, cilantro. Cut into squares and enjoy!
