Description
Cheesy beef-stuffed crescent rolls are a quick and delicious weeknight dinner. Ground beef, onions, and cheese are rolled in crescent dough and baked until golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 triangles)
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (plus extra for topping if you want)
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for glossy tops)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in garlic, Worcestershire, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 30 seconds more, then remove from heat.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Spoon beef filling onto the wide end of each triangle, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Roll up from the wide end to the point, tucking filling in as you roll.
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush tops lightly with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish (optional).
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until deep golden and cooked through.
- Sprinkle extra cheddar on top during the last 2 minutes of baking for a melty finish. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
- For extra flavor, add diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
