Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Crescent Squares

4. Add the beef and cheese layer

Now build the “square”:

• Spread the cooked beef evenly over the dough
• Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top

The cheese melts into the beef while baking, creating a rich, gooey layer.

5. Bake until golden

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until:

• The crescent dough is golden brown
• The cheese is fully melted and bubbling slightly

Your kitchen will smell like a mix of bakery bread and cheeseburger heaven.

6. Cool and cut into squares

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

This helps everything set so the squares hold their shape when cut.

Slice into even squares and serve warm.
