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.
