→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 onion, finely diced
03 - 1 cup marinara sauce
04 - ½ cup sour cream
05 - 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
06 - 1 package (8 oz) Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
07 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
08 - ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Begin by browning your ground beef together with finely diced onions in a skillet. Once cooked through, drain off any excess fat.
02 - Fold in your marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Your beef mixture is now ready.
03 - In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sour cream and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
04 - Pour the beef mixture as the base into a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Gently spread your cheese blend over it in an even layer.
05 - Unfold the crescent roll dough and lay it as a blanket over the cheese layer, making sure to cover the entire surface.
06 - In a small bowl, mix together your melted butter and grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle or brush this mixture over the crescent dough.
07 - Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, until the crust turns a gorgeous golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
08 - Once baked, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

# Notes:

01 - This Tuscan-inspired casserole is surprisingly easy to make despite its impressive presentation.
02 - Feel free to add your own unique twist to the recipe, such as Italian herbs or diced bell peppers.
03 - Pairs perfectly with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
04 - Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
