Mini Mushroom Cheese Sandwiches

2 tubes of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 can Cambells Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
1 8oz package of shredded mozzerella cheese

Preheat oven to 375F. Pop open both tubes, and separate all the little triangles. Arrange them on a silicone mat on a backing pan/in a backing dish. With a teaspoon, spread a spoonful of still condensed soup inside each triangle (be sure to leave the tip clear so it will close). Sprinkle with cheese. Roll closed.

Cook for 11-13 minutes--just like it says on the package. Makes 16.

The baby LOVES them as part of a meal. No crusts. Buttery bread. And he doesn't get his hands "yucky" because the filling doesn't fall out.
