Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup tomato pasta sauce
6 oz. (1 1/2 cups) shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. In large skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Stir in pasta sauce; cook until thoroughly heated.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and sour cream; mix well.
Pour hot beef mixture into ungreased 9 1/2 or 10-inch glass deep-dish pie pan or 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Spoon cheese mixture over beef mixture.
Unroll dough over cheese mixture. (If using pie pan, separate dough into 8 triangles; arrange points toward center over cheese mixture, crimping outside edges if necessary.) In small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and butter. Spread evenly over dough.
Bake at 375°F. for 18 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

Wonderful meld of flavors! Will definitely make this again.

This looks really good. I think I may make it with shredded chicken. maybe half chicken, half beef because my husband doesn't eat ground beef.

Reviewed on Dec. 10, 2010 by carrie carney

Good- and very easy although the next time I make it, I think I will season the ground beef a little or use italian sausage to increase the flavor factor. Husband and kids liked it.

Reviewed on Nov. 23, 2010 by gingerriss

I made this 6 years ago and still think about how good it was. Need to make it again soon
