Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Dough & Topping

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease from the pan to keep the filling from being too oily.
  3. Season the Beef: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Mix in Cheese and Parsley: Transfer the seasoned beef to a bowl. Add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and chopped parsley, mixing until everything is well combined for a cheesy, flavorful filling.
  5. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, pressing the seams together to form one large sheet, which will hold the filling securely.
  6. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the beef and cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the roll.
  7. Roll and Seal: Starting from a long side, tightly roll the dough over the filling. Pinch the seam to seal well and tuck the ends underneath to prevent leaking during baking.
  8. Apply Egg Wash: Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top and sides with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden brown finish.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  10. Rest and Serve: Let the roll rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set. Slice into thick rounds, garnish with additional chopped parsley, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with provolone or Monterey jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Make sure to drain the cooked beef well to avoid soggy dough.
  • Serve with a side salad or dipping sauce like marinara or ranch for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
