Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened.
- Drain any excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Add the cooked meat mixture and stir until well combined.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish, sealing any seams. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the meat mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
