Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 pound lean ground beef
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
Optional Additions
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Filling
Reduce the heat to low and stir the cream of mushroom soup into the cooked beef. Mix until everything is well combined and heated through. If desired, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish
Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the dish, sealing any perforations to form a solid crust.
Step 4: Assemble
Spread the beef and mushroom mixture evenly over the crescent dough. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if using.
Step 5: Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent crust is golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 6: Serve
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
