Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium White onion, diced
• 1.5 cups Sauerkraut, drained
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 cans (8 oz each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked and the onion becomes translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Stir in the drained sauerkraut, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to combine and heat through. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 4

Unroll one can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, stretching it slightly to cover the base evenly.

Step 5

Spread the beef and sauerkraut mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filling.

Step 6

Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the filling, pinching the edges gently to seal and create a top crust layer.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly brush the top crescent dough layer with beaten egg to create a golden and shiny finish when baked.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Sauerkraut Bierocks Casserole!
