• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (cooked and drained)

1 cup garlic tomato pasta sauce

8 oz pkg Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend

1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Directions

In a skillet, mix cooked beef and pasta sauce. Heat over medium heat until warm.

Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place dough in an ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate in a spoke pattern, with narrow tips overlapping the rim of the plate about 3 inches.

Press the dough into the side and bottom of the pan to form a crust and cover the pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the dough in the pan.

Spoon the meat mixture evenly over the cheese.

Bring tips of dough over filling to meet in the center; do not overlap.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the dish followed by the basil. Bake at 375°F 15 to 20 minutes.
