Italian Crescent Casserole with Ground Beef

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

In a skillet, cook the ground beef until brown and thoroughly cooked. Drain, add pasta sauce, and heat through.

Step 3

Meanwhile, separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Place the dough in an ungreased 9-inch pie dish with narrow tips overlapping the rim of the dish. Mix sour cream and 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese together.

Step 4

Spread ground beef mixture onto prepared crescent roll dough, then top with sour cream mixture. Fold crescent roll dough over so the tips are in the center of the dish, try not to overlap. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cups cheese and dried basil.

Step 5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
