Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

Base

  • 9 oz crescent rolls I use Pillsbury Original for the best flaky crust.

Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1.25 cups salsa I prefer Pace Chunky for consistent thickness and flavor.
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded from a block for better melting and creaminess.
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Garnish (optional)

  • toppings to taste like shredded lettuce or sour cream

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it browns, about 5-7 minutes until no pink remains. Drain excess fat from the pan, then stir in the salsa, ground cumin, and salt. Let this simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, sealing any perforations together.
  • Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the crescent dough base, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese across the top.
  • Bake the casserole in your preheated oven for 20 minutes until the crescent roll edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
  • Cut the casserole into individual portions and transfer to serving plates or bowls. Top each serving with your choice of toppings.

Notes

The combination of fresh, cool toppings provides a nice contrast to the warm, cheesy casserole.
