Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tubes Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the salt and black pepper, then reduce heat to low. Mix in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and combined with the beef mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Open the first tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Press any perforations together to create a single, seamless layer.
Spread the beef and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and place it over the top of the cheese layer, pinching any seams to create a seamless top layer.
Brush the top crescent dough layer with the melted butter to help it bake to a golden perfection.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
