Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in the ketchup and dill pickle relish until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form an even crust. Pinch the seams together where needed.
Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the crescent dough base. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the beef mixture.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cheese layer. Pinch the edges to seal and pinch any seams together.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top layer of crescent dough for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
