"When my husband and I were first married, I didn't have many recipes," recalls Laurie Malyuk of River Falls, Wisconsin. "When my cousin found out, she wrote out nearly 50 of them—including this family favorite."

Ingredients

  • 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll one tube of crescent dough; place in a lightly greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Press to seal perforations.
  2. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Sprinkle over dough. Top with pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheeses.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, press or roll second tube of crescent dough into a 13x9-in. rectangle, sealing seams and perforations. Place over cheese. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes or until golden brown.
