Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz can)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in the salt, black pepper, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 4

Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 7

Open the tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Arrange the dough over the cheese layer, pinching seams together as needed to form a single layer. Brush the crescent dough lightly with the milk to help it brown in the oven.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Crescent Topped Casserole!
