Description
A delightful appetizer featuring flaky crescent dough wrapped around a rich filling of seasoned beef, vegetables, and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Add vegetables: Incorporate the chopped bell peppers and onion into the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Season the filling: Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle and overlapping the edges as needed.
- Fill the dough: Spoon the beef mixture into the center of the dough and top with shredded mozzarella.
- Fold and seal: Bring the outer edges of the dough over the filling, sealing it gently to create a ring.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Let it rest before slicing.
