Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through. Remove from heat.
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish, covering the entire base. Pinch any seams together to seal the dough.
Spread the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sloppy joe mixture.
Use the remaining crescent roll dough to create a top layer, stretching and pinching as needed to cover the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
