Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 can of crescent rolls (8 count)
- 1 cup pasta sauce
Instructions:
| Step | Description | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet. | 5 mins |
| 2 | Next, add the pasta sauce to the cooked ground beef, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. | 5 mins |
| 3 | While the meat sauce simmers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 baking pan, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking. | 3 mins |
| 4 | Unroll the crescent roll dough and press four of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the greased baking pan, forming a bottom crust layer. | 2 mins |
| 5 | Pour the prepared meat sauce evenly over the crescent roll crust, spreading it out to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce. | 2 mins |
| 6 | Finally, layer the remaining four crescent rolls over the cheese and meat sauce, creating a top crust layer. Press the edges gently to seal the squares. | 2 mins |
| 7 | Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through. | 15 mins |
| 8 | Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, beefy goodness! | – |
These Easy Beefy Crescent Squares are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal anytime! 🍽️🥐🧀
