This beef crescent casserole is soft, savory, and a little old-fashioned in the nicest way. With ground beef, cheddar cheese soup, cheddar cheese, and refrigerated crescent dough, it comes together with just four ingredients.
You’re going to love how quickly it turns a plain situation into supper.
Why You’ll Love It
Just four ingredients — ground beef, cheddar cheese soup, cheddar cheese, and crescent dough.
Easy to assemble — brown the beef, layer everything in a dish, and bake.
Feeds six — and stretches nicely with green beans, broccoli, a basic salad, or sliced cucumbers.
Comforting and savory — buttery crescent crust, creamy beef filling, and bubbly cheddar in every bite.
Ingredient Notes
Ground beef is the backbone of this, and I use regular ground beef—nothing terribly lean—then drain it well. You need a little richness for flavor, but you do not need a casserole swimming in grease. Been there. Try our 4-Ingredient Amish Biscuit Beef Casserole next.
For the crescent dough, use the refrigerated tube kind. Any standard crescent roll dough works. The seams need pinching together, and I mean really pinch them.
They have a tendency to separate when you least need them to, like a zipper on an old purse.
The condensed cheddar cheese soup is what makes the beef creamy and savory without adding a pile of ingredients. Don’t dilute it with milk or water.
Just stir it straight into the cooked beef. It will look thick at first, then settle into its job. If you like this, you’ll love our Slow Cooker Amish Country Tomato Beef Casserole.
And shredded cheddar: sharp cheddar gives it more zip, but regular medium cheddar is perfectly good. I’ve used the pre-shredded bagged kind many times, despite what the food magazines say. Sometimes I grate my own. Sometimes I do not. The republic survives.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese — sharp if you like a little more tang, though plain old cheddar is just fine
