Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh basil
• ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, mushrooms, and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Mix in tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Spread into an ungreased 8x12-inch baking dish and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Mix basil and oregano into sour cream. Spread 1 teaspoon of the sour cream mixture onto each triangle. Roll up into a crescent roll, starting at the wide end. Arrange rolls on top of meat mixture in the dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
