On a greased baking sheet lay out the crescent rolls keeping two triangular crescents together to make a rectangle. Use your fingers to mold the two crescents together to make one big rectangle.

Place about ¼ a cup of the sloppy Joe mixture onto one half of each rectangle. Remember to leave a boarder around the mixture for when you pinch the edges together. Add a few tablespoons of cheese to the top of each meat mound.
