Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package (8 ounces) crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
4. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. While the beef mixture is simmering, unroll the crescent roll dough onto a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a single sheet of dough.
6. Spread the beef mixture over the crescent roll dough in an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
7. Starting with one short side, roll up the dough, jelly roll style, ensuring that the filling stays inside.
8. Brush the melted butter evenly over the top of the crescent roll.
9. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
