Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large flame-proof baking casserole, brown the beef with the onion over medium heat, stirring to break up the meat, until the beef turns color, about 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir. Season with 1 1/2 tsp. of salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes. Remove the casserole from the heat.
Mix together the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and sprinkle over the meat in the casserole. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread one side of each roll with 1 Tbsp. of sour cream. Cover the cheese with the rolls, with the sour creamed side up. Bake the casserole until bubbly and the top of the crescent rolls are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
