ITALIAN CRESCENT CASSEROLE

I love it when I cook something and it is such a hit that I don’t have to worry about leftovers. It is sad though and a waste but leftovers tend to be forgotten about in our house and the dogs usually end up with a messy experiment or something tasty. They are dogs so they win either way. Well this recipe I made is very similar to the Pillsbury Italian Crescent Casserole Recipe but I changed the kind of sauce used but I am sure it is just as good either way.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef cooked drained
  • 1 cup Three Cheese Pasta Sauce (the original called for a different kind. I love this one more so I used it)
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend (6 oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil leaves

PREPARATION:

  1. In skillet mix beef and pasta sauce. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat stirring occasionally.
  2. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place dough in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate in spoke pattern with narrow tips overlapping rim of plate about 3 inches. Press dough in side and bottom to form crust; sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Spoon meat mixture evenly over cheese. Bring tips of dough over filling to meet in center; do not overlap. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese and the basil.
  3. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Enjoy !
