Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground beef
- 2 cans reduced-fat crescent roll dough
- ¾ bag (1 cup) Italian blend cheese (½ mozzarella and ½ parmesan)
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
- ½ bag frozen seasoning blend
- 1 can sliced mushrooms
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt
- pepper
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sauté Mixture: In a skillet, cook mushrooms, seasoning blend, and onions until softened and translucent.
- Brown Protein: Add ground beef and minced garlic, cooking until meat is completely browned with no pink remaining.
- Flavor Enhancement: Incorporate Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Creamy Filling: Remove from heat and fold in sour cream and shredded cheese, creating a luxurious beef mixture.
- Dough Assembly: Spread crescent roll dough on prepared baking sheet, ensuring light flouring to prevent sticking.
- Filling and Sealing: Center beef mixture along dough, carefully folding edges to enclose filling completely, pinching seams to create a tight seal.
- Finishing Touch: Whisk egg and generously brush across dough surface to achieve a glossy, golden exterior.
- Baking: Slide into preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until dough turns a rich, appetizing golden brown.
- Serving: Rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve piping hot for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Meat Preparation Tip: Brown the ground beef completely to eliminate any pink areas, ensuring food safety and enhancing overall flavor depth.
- Moisture Control: Pat the beef mixture dry before stuffing to prevent soggy crescent dough and maintain a crisp, flaky texture.
- Sealing Technique: Press dough edges firmly and create tight folds to prevent filling from leaking during baking, which maintains structural integrity.
- Golden Crust Secret: Apply egg wash evenly across the entire surface for a professional-looking, shiny, and appetizing golden-brown finish.
