This easy 4-ingredient ground beef casserole with a crescent roll crust is always a family favorite!

Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough (I use Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets, which don't have perforations)
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 cup thick and chunky salsa (or substitute with barbecue sauce)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, chopped fresh parsley, or other taco toppings like sour cream, sliced olives, avocado or guacamole, or pickled red onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 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 the crescent roll dough and press into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it's no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Stir in 1 cup of salsa, or just enough to moisten and flavor the meat. You don’t want the filling too “wet,” or it might make the crust soggy. I opt for a "thick and chunky" style salsa for this dish. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Spoon the beef mixture over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cut into squares and serve. Garnish with optional toppings.
Notes
- Look for a Pillsbury Crescent Dough “Sheet”, which is just like the crescent rolls but without the perforations. That way you can just unroll the tube of dough and press it into the pan.
- If using crescent roll dough instead of the crescent dough sheet, make sure to press and seal together the perforations.
