Meatball on a Stick
For this you'll need toasting forks, cooked meatballs and patience to toast them over the fire. Use commercial, frozen meatballs for their firmness or make your own tightly packed.
2 large, cooked meatballs per person, thawed
2 triangles crescent dough per meatball
Canned tomato sauce
Italian seasoning
Put a meatball firmly on each toasting stick or fork. Separate crescent dough into squares. Press seams to make a solid square of dough. Brush squares lightly with tomato sauce, leaving edges clean. Dip a finger in water and go around edges so they'll seal better. Sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning. Wrap dough competely around each meatball, sealing edges tightly. Toast slowly by holding toasting forks over the coals, turning often, until dough is golden brown.
