Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes, drained
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tube Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir in the drained diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and mix in the softened cream cheese until fully incorporated and creamy. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it over the bottom and slightly up the sides of the greased baking dish to form a crust.

Step 7

Spread the beef mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture in an even layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven, brush the top lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
