Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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 Sloppy Joe sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Spoon beef mixture over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cut into squares, garnish, and serve.
