Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Spray an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray. You can also use a 9 x 13-inch dish -- it will just yield a slightly thinner crust and beef layer. Either works well, though!
- Unroll crescent roll dough and press into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain any grease from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 cup of salsa.
- Spoon beef mixture over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cut into squares and serve.

BEEF 'N' GREEN BEAN PIE
This is one of my family's favorite recipes. A real one-dish meal! It goes together easy, uses everyday staples, is kid friendly, and tastes great! I got the recipe from an A Taste Of Home booklet. The other night, I promised DH this dish but didn't have any crescent rolls, so I substituted Grand's. The family loved it more than the original.
