Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce with the cooked ground beef and heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. You should have 16 triangles in total from the 2 cans of dough.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the Sloppy Joe mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
Roll up each crescent triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling towards the point. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheets, point-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the crescents from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with optional toppings on the side if desired.
