Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls

8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

One 4-ounce can diced jalapenos, drained

½ teaspoon salt

16 ounces of crescent roll dough (each can is 8 ounces)

¼ cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add pepper jack cheese to a mixing bowl with the softened cream cheese, diced jalapenos and salt. Stir to combine all of the ingredients. Roll out both cans of crescent rolls and press them together. Spread the cheesy mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough. Starting with the short side of the dough, roll up each sheet of crescent roll dough tightly over the cheese mixture. Use a serrated knife to slice each roll into eight, approximately one-inch rolls. This will make 16 rolls total.

Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl, then brush it evenly on top of the rolls. Place in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
