CRESCENT ROLL LASAGNA



Crescent Roll Lasagna image

My mom used to make this crescent roll lasagna for us and everyone loved it. It's a fast, yummy alternative to normal lasagna and our most often requested recipe at potlucks. My husband loves spicier food so for him I put in more seasoning to make the meat pop. You can make it ahead of time; just refrigerate covered for up to 3 hours and then increase baking time to 25 to 30 minutes.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ pound ground beef
½ pound bulk pork sausage
¾ cup chopped onion
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
½ clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 cup creamed cottage cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add onion, tomato paste, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg in a bowl for filling.
  • Unroll 1 can of crescent rolls on an ungreased 15x13-inch cookie sheet and press the edges together to seal. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture on top, to within 1 inch of the edge of the dough. Top with cheese filling. Spoon remaining meat mixture carefully on top. Place mozzarella cheese slices on top of the meat.
  • Unroll remaining crescent can and place dough on top, being careful to overlap the edges by about 1/4 inch. Pinch the edges to seal to prevent leaking. Brush dough with milk; sprinkle on sesame seeds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
