Beef 'n' Green Bean Pie

By Bean4bella

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped green pepper, optional
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) cut green beans, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• Paprika

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and green pepper if desired over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, beans, salt and garlic salt. Simmer for 8 minutes or until heated through.
Meanwhile, separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal perforations.
In a large bowl, beat egg and 1 cup cheese; spread over crust. Stir 1/2 cup cheese into meat mixture; spoon into crust.
Sprinkle with paprika and remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
