This is a great basic recipe that can be personalized by each cook. I use a bulk sausage in place of hamburger. Additions of mushrooms, peppers, etc. are easy and it can be your own special dish.

How To Make italian crescent casserole

Step 1

In 10 inch skillet, mix beef and pasta sauce. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place dough in ungreased 9 inch glass pie plate in spoke pattern, with narrow tips overlapping rim of plate about 3 inches. Press dough in side and bottom to form crust; sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Spoon meat mixture evenly over cheese. Bring tips of dough over filling to meet in center, do not overlap. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and the basil.
Step 3

Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.
