Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 1 can crescent rolls (8 count)
- 1 cup (225 g) shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: diced bell peppers
- Optional: diced mushrooms
- Optional: other vegetables of your choice
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Meat Mixture: Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling while cooking. Incorporate onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, sautéing until onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Dough Assembly: Unroll crescent roll dough and separate triangles. Distribute seasoned beef mixture across the center of each triangle, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded cheese and optional diced vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Rolling Technique: From the wider end, gently roll each triangle towards the pointed tip, carefully tucking sides to prevent filling from escaping.
- Baking Process: Arrange filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
- Serving: Allow rolls to cool briefly for filling to set. Serve warm with a side salad or preferred dipping sauce for a complete meal.
Notes
- Meat Prep Tip: Drain excess fat after browning beef to prevent soggy crescent rolls and ensure a crisp, flaky texture.
- Cheese Selection: Use shredded mozzarella or cheddar for best melting; grate fresh cheese for richer flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Rolling Technique: Pinch edges firmly when rolling to seal filling and prevent leaks during baking, creating neat, compact crescents.
- Temperature Check: Let filling cool slightly before stuffing dough to prevent dough from becoming soft and difficult to handle.
