Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 packages crescent roll dough sheets
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Add the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.
Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a crust. Make sure to pinch any seams together.
Spread the cooked meat-and-vegetable mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the meat mixture in an even layer.
Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and place it over the cheese layer. Pinch the edges together to seal and ensure full coverage of the filling.
Brush the melted butter over the top crescent roll dough for a golden, flaky finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
