Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 0.25 cup pickle slices, optional
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small crumbles, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 7

Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently lay it over the cheese layer, stretching it slightly to fit the dish. Pinch any perforated seams together to create a flat crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the crescent dough.

Step 9

Optional: Add pickle slices on top of the cheese if desired, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a burger-inspired garnish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Let the Cheesy Burger Bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your cheesy, savory burger-inspired casserole!
