Step by Step Instructions for Making Crescent Roll Cheeseburger Casserole
To make this casserole, I started by dicing some yellow onions and pickles.
STEP 1:
I dropped some lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.
I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.
Once the ground beef was fully browned, I drained the grease from the skillet.
STEP 2:
I added the diced onions and pickles to the skillet.
I stirred well and continued cooking until the onions were translucent.
STEP 3:
I added some diced tomatoes, ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet.
I also added some salt, pepper and garlic powder.
I stirred all of the ingredients together until fully combined.
STEP 4:
I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
I unrolled a sheet of Pillsbury crescent dough and placed it in the bottom of the baking dish.
I gently pressed the dough out to cover the bottom and go up the sides of the dish.
I poured the ground beef mixture over the crescent dough and spread it out evenly.
STEP 5:
I sprinkled some shredded cheese over the ground beef.
I unrolled a second sheet of crescent dough and placed it over the top.
I gently pressed the dough down the sides of the dish to meet with the bottom layer of crescent dough.
STEP 6:
I placed the dish in the oven and baked it until the crescent roll dough was nicely browned.
I removed the dish from the oven and allowed it to rest for a few minutes.
Then the cheeseburger casserole was ready to slice and serve.
