My sister serves this at her June backyard get-togethers and it only takes 4 ingredients to make a crowd-pleasing savory dish.

This Beef Crescent Bake wraps seasoned ground beef and melted cheddar cheese between two layers of buttery, golden crescent dough. Golden, flaky, and packed with savory flavor from dry onion soup mix, this easy four-ingredient casserole is a quick weeknight favorite for the whole family.

4-Ingredient Beef Crescent Bake

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.

2. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked (about 7 to 10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.

3. Season the meat: Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the cooked beef and stir until fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. Form bottom crust: Unroll one can of crescent dough into the bottom of the prepared dish, pinching the seams together to form a solid bottom layer.

5. Add layers: Spread the seasoned beef evenly over the crust, then top with an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

6. Top and seal: Unroll the second can of crescent dough, press the seams together, and lay it over the cheese layer. Gently press the edges to meet the bottom crust and seal.

7. Bake until golden: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top crust is puffed, deep golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling around the edges.

8. Rest and serve: Let rest for at least 10 minutes so the layers set before slicing into squares and serving warm.
