Recipe: Hamburger Cresent Rolls

Made with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.

We are purists of a certain sort. The recipe calls for 1 pound of ground beef, which means that five minutes before Mr. Big Food browned 1 pound of ground beef with 1/2 cup of onion, he processed 1 pound of sirloin steak through the meat grinder.

But you don't have to be a purist to enjoy Hamburger Crescent Rolls. We used fresh oregano and rosemary, but dried would work just as well. 

Recipe below.

HAMBURGER CRESCENT ROLLS

1 lb ground beef

½ C onion, chopped

½ tsp salt

8 oz tomato sauce (preferably homemade—see recipes in Basics section)

4 oz mushrooms, chopped

1 C (4 oz) shredded yellow cheese

1 can (8 count) dinner crescent rolls

¼ tsp dried oregano, crumbled

¼ tsp dried rosemary OR basil, crumbled

½ C sour cream

Preheat oven to 375^o. Brown beef and onion, and drain. Combine mixture with salt, tomato sauce, and mushrooms, pour into a lightly greased casserole, and sprinkle with cheese. Combine sour cream and herbs. Unroll and separate crescent rolls, spread 1 Tbsp sour cream mixture over each, roll up each triangle from the large end, and place on top of beef mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes or until rolls are browned.
