Crescent Sloppy Joes

Oh my goodness.  These are so good especially if you like sloppy joes.  The hardest part for me was wrapping them with the crescent rolls.  I used ground beef but you could use ground turkey if you wanted to make them a little healthier but why bother?  They're sloppy joes!!! lol 

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1oz)
1 can (8oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8oz) Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet. 
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp sesame seed - I didn't have any so I just sprinkled with olive oil instead

Heat oven to 375.  In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain.  Replace into skillet, stir in barbecue sauce; cook 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until hot.  Stir in cheese.

If using crescent rolls, unroll dough, separate into 4 rectangles.  Press each into 8x4 inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.  If using dough sheet, unroll dough, cut into 4 rectangles.  Press each into 8x4 inch rectangle.  Cut each in half crosswise, making 8 squares.

Place about 2 rounded tablespoons beef mixture on center of each square.  Fold dough over filling, forming triangles; press edges with fork to seal.  With knife, cut small slits in tops for steam to escape.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Brush with with egg, sprinkle with sesame seed. 

Bake 11 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately remove from cookie sheet.  Serve warm.
