Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb (454g) Lean Ground Beef 80/20 blend recommended
  • 1 small (100g) Yellow Onion Finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 cans (226g each) Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough 8-count cans
  • 1 cup (115g) Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese Shredded or sliced
  • 2 tbsp (15g) Fresh Parsley Finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed skillet Cast-iron or stainless steel preferred.
  • 1 Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper.

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef
  1. In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion until the beef is dark brown and crumbly, about 7-8 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute then drain excess fat.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Unroll crescent dough into triangles. Place 2 tbsp of beef at the wide end and roll toward the point.
  2. Place on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown.
  3. Drape cheddar cheese over rolls in the last 2 minutes of baking. Top with finely chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Drain the beef thoroughly to avoid soggy dough.
Wait 2 minutes before serving to let the cheese set.
