One of my family's favorite recipes! I love making this ring because it is easy and fast. You can also make a taco ring (1 lb. hamburger, 1 can refried beans, 1 pkg taco seasoning, 2 cups Cheddar cheese) with the same method.
As is we did not like this recipe. BUT with a few modifications we would like it much better. The crescent ring is a great idea and I made mine wreath size (Gives me ideas for the holidays). The mustard/broccoli combo didn't work for us. Next time we'll use shaved ham 1/2 c cheddar 1/2 c swiss 1 tsp lemon juice fresh parsley. Mushrooms would probably go well too if they are sliced and sauteed first.
I followed this recipe to the letter and neither my husband or I were very fond of it. It seemed like there was too much onion and not enough cheese. The basic ring idea is neat we just didn't like the filling. I wonder if we wouldn't have just preferred ham swiss cheese broccoli with a little bit of mustard or mayo.
This recipe was in a "Cookin' the American Way" cookbook back in the mid-90's. While my Mom sold the products she would go to the houses where the party was hosted and cook this. Making this again brought back some great memories. I'm a vegetarian now so I used Worthington's Wham (which is so much like ham that it's quite creepy). I also used yellow onion instead of green. Be careful when putting the cresent roll in a ring. If you overlap them too much the thick spots will not cook all the way through. While shopping for cresent rolls I recommend reading the nutritional facts and try to find the one with the least trans fat (all have it but some have minimal amounts).
My Boyfriend really liked this. I didn't care much for the flavor combinations.
I would go easy on the green onions and maybe vary the cheese if you're not a huge swiss fan. But it's a fun recipe!
Delicious and easy recipe! Great for the holidays!
This is a great recipe...I have made it for many luncheons and parties and people always rave about it...thinking I've spent all day working on it.
Assembled on foil then slid onto hot pizza stone. Added thinly sliced baby bell peppers. Used Canadian bacon instead of ham.
