Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cups cabbage, finely chopped

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add chopped cabbage to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese.
  5. Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form one large rectangle.
  6. Spread beef and cabbage mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  7. Roll dough up from the long side, sealing the edges tightly to avoid leaks.
  8. Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to sauté the cabbage well to avoid sogginess.
  • Seal seams tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
  • Let the casserole rest before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Feel free to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
