ITALIAN CRESCENT CASSEROLE



Italian Crescent Casserole image

Such a quick and easy dinner. And delicious. Just add a salad and you have a complete meal. I got this recipe from a local church cookbook and I've been making this dish for years. My whole family loves it!!

Provided by Jacks Mommy

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 cup marinara sauce (your favorite brand)
1/2 cup sour cream
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and onion, drain.
  • Stir in marinara sauce (and I add a little salt and pepper).
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine sour cream and mozzarella cheese.
  • Pour ground beef mixture into a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spoon cheese mixture over beef mixture.
  • Unroll crescent roll dough on top of cheese mixture.
  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter and parmesan cheese.
  • Spread butter mixture over dough.
  • Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. A good melting cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, works well.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The zucchini should be tender, but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Italian Zucchini Crescent Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With its creamy sauce, tender zucchini, and flavorful cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
