Ingredients
- 2 packages of refrigerated crescent rolls 16 oz/454 g each
- 2 lbs 907 g ground beef
- 2 tablespoons 28 g butter
- 4 cups 500 g green cabbage, shredded
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups 170 g Mozzarella cheese, grated
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
- Unroll one tube of crescent rolls but do not separate the rolls. Place the sheet in the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, season the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain the fat as needed and push the meat to the outer edges of the skillet.
- Add butter to the center of the skillet. Once melted, add onions, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
- Add cabbage and let cook down until wilted, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spread the beef and cabbage mixture over the baked crescent rolls in the baking dish. Top with Mozzarella cheese and the remaining sheet of crescent roll dough.
- Bake until the top is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
