This is a flavorful and easy to cook recipe. It comes out tasting like pizza.

Servings: 4 people
Author: Linda
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (I used 90%)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup pasta sauce (I used pizza sauce)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 can crescent rolls
  • 1 small green pepper diced (optional)
Topping
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesean cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. You do not need to spray pan. I used a 9 ½ inch glass pie plate.

  2. In a skillet, brown your beef and onion together (and your green pepper if you want to add it). Drain the fat. Put the beef mixture on the bottom of the pie pan.

  3. Pour sauce over meat and follow with spoon fulls of sour cream. (It won’t cover.) Top with shredded cheese.

  4. Cover the top with crescent rolls. Piece them together. Make sure all the perforations are sealed. It should look like a patch work.

  5. Combine the melted butter, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning (and garlic powder if you want to add it) in a small bowl. It will be very thick. Brush this over the top of the crescent roll top.

  6. Bake 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and cooked through.

  7. Let sit 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Do you have a clay cooker, but never knew what to cook in it? Pot roast cooks great in clay cookers and comes out exceptionally moist. This is a super easy to cook recipe, just make sure to plan ahead so you have enough cooking time.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 people
Author: Steve
Ingredients
  • 3 lb roast
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet Lipton dry soup mix (choose your favorite beef flavor)
  • 2-4 Tbsp cornstarch (to thicken gravy)
Instructions

  1. Soak the lid of your clay cooker for 10 minutes.

  2. Place your roast into the bottom of the clay cooker.

  3. Mix all soup mixes in bowl and pour on top of the roast.

  4. Add enough water to cover meat, but make sure you have at least one inch of space below the top of the bottom portion of your clay cooker.

  5. Place clay cooker in cold oven and then cook for three hours at 350 degrees.

  6. To thicken your gravy, mix two Tablespoons of cornstarch with a 1/2 cup water and pour it into the gravy. Stir to mix. You can repeat this one more time if you would prefer thicker gravy. I would not recommend doing this more than two times, as it can distort the flavor of the gravy.
