Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup tomato pasta sauce
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8 oz) can Pillsbury Recipe Creations (Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls can be substituted)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  2. Combine the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the beef is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in the pasta sauce and cook just until heated through.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the mozzarella cheese and sour cream in a bowl. Set aside.
  4. Pour the beef mixture into the bottom of a 9- or 10-inch deep dish pie pan. Dollop the cheese mixture over the top and carefully spread evenly.
  5. Unroll the dough and place over the top of the cheese mixture. Trim the edges as needed, filling in any spots with the extra dough. Tuck the edges in around the edges of the pie dish.
  6. Combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese and basil. Spread evenly over the top of the crescent rolls.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is browned and cooked. Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing.
