Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can crescent rolls (1 can )
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded )
  • ¼ cup green pepper (chopped )
  • ⅓ cup chopped onion
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture

  • In a skillet, brown the ground beef with chopped onions and green peppers.
  • Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, garlic salt, and salt.
  • Let simmer on low heat while preparing the crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Crust

  • Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
  • Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4: Layer the Pie

  • Beat the egg and mix it with half of the shredded cheese.
  • Spread the egg-cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
  • Spoon the hot beef mixture on top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce overall fat.
  • Substitute half the mozzarella with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
  • Add mushrooms or extra peppers for more vegetables.
  • Replace crescent rolls with refrigerated pie crust for a sturdier base.
  • Sprinkle dried oregano or Italian seasoning into the beef mixture for added flavor.
  • Make it spicy by adding crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Use reduced-fat cheese and crescent dough for a lighter version.
  • Bake on a sheet pan under the pie plate to catch any drips.
  • Let rest longer (10 minutes) before cutting for cleaner slices.
