Ingredients
  

For the Beef Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef Cook until browned.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese Use for filling.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Use for filling.
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped Plus extra for garnish.

For the Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg, beaten For egg wash.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart. Drain excess grease.
  • Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • Transfer beef to a bowl; mix in cheddar, mozzarella, and parsley until combined.

Assembly

  • Unroll crescent dough into one large sheet; press seams to seal.
  • Spread the beef-cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  • Roll tightly from a long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends.
  • Place roll seam-side down on the baking sheet; brush with beaten egg.

Cooking

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Rest for 5 minutes, slice into thick rounds, garnish with extra parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Do not rush the cooling step; make sure to taste the beef before adding cheese to season properly. If you prefer a crispier bottom, preheat the baking sheet before placing the roll on it.
