Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Make sure to crumble it as it cooks for even browning.
Step 3: Add Seasoning
Drain excess fat from the cooked ground beef. Then, stir in your choice of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4: Incorporate Onions
Add chopped onions to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
Step 5: Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a non-stick baking dish, pressing the seams to seal.
Step 6: Layer the Ground Beef Mixture
Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
Step 7: Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ground beef evenly.
Step 8: Cover with Remaining Crescent Rolls
Take the remaining crescent roll dough and place it over the cheese, sealing the edges to prevent spillage during baking.
Step 9: Bake the Casserole
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
Step 10: Let it Cool
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
