Ingredients

  • 16 oz Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls 2 cans, 8 oz each

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp Ranch powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line an 21”x15” baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Garnish with fresh greens (optional), cut into triangles or rectangles and enjoy.
