Zesty Italian Crescent Casserole

By joeyanne

This was a comment: I made this last night and it turned out perfect. I combined beef and pork. Sauteed onions, seasoned it with garlic and onion powder and added sloppy joe sauce (with a little sugar and salt) instead of tomato sauce. I prepared it the way instructed and for my crust, I brushed on a melted butter/egg wash mix and the crust came out SO GORGEOUSLY BROWN!! Like it had been sitting in the sun on the beach all day. lol GREAT RECIPE and my family killed it!

Preparation

Step 1

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.
