    1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
    seasoning salt
    pepper
    2 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste)
    2 teaspoons cumin (or to taste)
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese (can use more)
    1 (10 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluited

    1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Preparation
    Set oven to 375 degrees.
    Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
    In a large skillet cook the ground beef with onion, garlic and green bell pepper (if using) until beef is browned; drain fat.
    Add in salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and oregano and Parmesan cheese; cook stirring for 2 minutes longer; remove the skillet from heat.
    In a bowl whisk together the cheese soup and milk; set aside.
    Separate the crescent dough into 4 rectangles; press perforations together firmly.
    Roll each rectangle to 8x4 inches.
    Cut each rectangle in half crosswise to form 8 (4-inch) squares (use a pizza cutter for this!).
    Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into center of each square.
    Lift 4 corners of the dough up over the filling to meet in the center; pinch and twist firmly to seal.
    Place the squares into the prepared baking dish.
    Drizzle the soup/milk mixture around the squares in the baking dish.
    Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
    Remove from oven and sprinkle the grated cheese over each square and return to oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese melted.
