Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.25 cup pickle slices, optional
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small crumbles, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently lay it over the cheese layer, stretching it slightly to fit the dish. Pinch any perforated seams together to create a flat crust.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the crescent dough.
Optional: Add pickle slices on top of the cheese if desired, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a burger-inspired garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
Let the Cheesy Burger Bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your cheesy, savory burger-inspired casserole!
