How to Make Crescent Cheeseburger Pie

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (or according to your crescent roll package instructions).

2. Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.

3. Add flavor by stirring in salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, and ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is combined.

4. Spray a pie plate with nonstick spray and spoon in the beef mixture. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar over the top.

5. Separate the crescent roll dough and lay the triangles over the beef mixture, covering the surface completely.

6. Roll and crimp the edges with your fingers to form a crust. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a fun burger-like touch.

7. Bake for about 10 minutes, or follow the baking time on your crescent roll package, until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

8. Cool slightly before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes! Ground turkey is a great substitute if you're looking for a lighter version. Just be sure to season it well so it still packs flavor.

What kind of cheese works best?
We usually use shredded cheddar, but Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a cheese blend work great too. Use what you have!

Can I make Crescent Cheeseburger Pie ahead of time?
Definitely. You can prepare the filling earlier in the day and store it in the fridge until you're ready to bake. Leftovers also reheat really well.

What sides go well with this pie?
Fries, a simple green salad, coleslaw, or even pickles are great choices. You can also serve it with ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce on the side for dipping.
