This easy 4-ingredient ground beef casserole with a crescent roll crust is always a family favorite!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough ((I like to use the Crescent Dough Sheets, which don't have any perforations))
1 lb. ground beef
1 cup salsa ((or substitute with barbecue sauce))
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Optional garnish: sliced green onions, chopped fresh parsley, or other taco toppings like sour cream, sliced olives, avocado or guacamole, or pickled red onions

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.
