Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 packages Crescent roll dough
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then stir in the broccoli florets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each package into 4 equal squares, creating 8 squares in total.

Step 7

Spoon a generous amount of the beef and broccoli mixture onto the center of each dough square.

Step 8

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together, then press the edges tightly with a fork to seal.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the squares with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the filled squares onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Broccoli Beef Squares!
