Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz can)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Arrange the dough over the cheese layer, pinching seams together as needed to form a single layer. Brush the crescent dough lightly with the milk to help it brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crescent Topped Casserole!
