Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 packages Crescent roll dough
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Finely mince the garlic. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then stir in the broccoli florets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each package into 4 equal squares, creating 8 squares in total.
Spoon a generous amount of the beef and broccoli mixture onto the center of each dough square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together, then press the edges tightly with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the squares with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the filled squares onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Broccoli Beef Squares!
