I often make this variation - Use 1# Rotini noodles, 1 pkg cooked...... and use 1 large jar spaghetti sauce, 1 16 oz container sour cream and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella – mix it all together with the ground beef and onion....pour into a casserole dish ...top with shredded cheddar... skip the crescent rolls. The crescent rolls don't work well if the dish is refrigerated ahead of time.... if that is the case you will have to make sure the mixture is about 2/3 heated through before adding the crescent rolls to the top.
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese-shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 TBSP butter melted
350 degree oven
In a large skillet, combine meat and onion. Cook until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, cook until heated through. Pour in a 2 qt dish.
In medium bowl, combine mozerella cheese and sour cream. Pour over meat mixture.
Arrange points toward center of cheese mixture....crimping edges if necessary. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until deep golden brown.
