My family would rather have this than plain meat loaf. It's a good way to dress up an ordinary dish for company. Many people have asked for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (10-1/4 ounces) beef gravy, divided
  • 1-1/2 cups cubed day-old bread
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup gravy, bread cubes, onion, egg and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
  2. Press into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 1 hour or until meat is no longer pink and a thermometer reads 160°.
  3. Remove loaf from pan; drain on paper towels. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Unroll crescent dough; seal seams and perforations. Cover top and sides of meat loaf with dough; trim excess.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Heat the remaining gravy; serve with meat loaf.
