Method

1. Preheat Oven
   Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or grease a baking sheet.
2. Cook Beef
   In a skillet over medium‑high heat, brown ground beef, breaking into crumbles, until no pink remains (7–8 minutes). Drain excess grease.

4. Add Cheese
   Stir shredded cheddar into warm beef until creamy and evenly combined.
5. Prepare Dough
   Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
6. Fill & Roll
   Place a spoonful of beef mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Roll toward the tip, enclosing filling. Pinch seams lightly.
7. Bake
   Arrange seam‑side down on baking sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
8. Cool & Serve
   Let rest 5 minutes before serving to set the filling. Enjoy warm.
