Ingredients You’ll Need

To make this delicious bake, gather the following ingredients:

For the Filling

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Crust

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Optional Toppings

• Pickles
• Diced tomatoes
• Extra cheese
• Sesame seeds
• Cooked bacon bits

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

This ensures the casserole bakes evenly and comes out easily after cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions become soft.

Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and mustard. Stir everything together and cook for another 1–2 minutes so the flavors blend well.

The ketchup and mustard give the beef mixture that classic cheeseburger flavor.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. The cheese will begin melting into the warm beef mixture, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.

Step 4: Create the Bottom Crescent Layer

Open one can of crescent roll dough and carefully press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Pinch the seams together so the dough forms one solid layer. This becomes the buttery base of the casserole.
