Ingredients

• 2 tubes crescent roll dough
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cream cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Then, add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer, pinching the seams together.

Step 6

Spread the beef mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and lay it over the cheese layer, pinching the seams together to form an even top crust.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Crescent Casserole!
