Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tubes Canned crescent roll dough
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese. Add the milk, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the meat. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form an even crust. Pinch the seams together if necessary.

Step 6

Spread the meat mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture.

Step 7

Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cheese and meat mixture to form a top layer. Pinch the seams together and tuck any excess dough along the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the crescent roll dough.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Maggie's Crescent Roll Casserole!
