Prep Time: 20 Min

Total Time: 55 Min

Makes: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

1lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1can (15.5 oz) sloppy joe sauce

2cans (12 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated Big & Buttery crescent dinner rolls

2cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)

1tablespoon sesame seed

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. 

2 Unroll 1 can of the dough; place in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of dish. Spread beef mixture over dough; sprinkle with cheese. Unroll second can of dough; place over cheese. Sprinkle with sesame seed.

3 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and dough is golden brown. Cut into squares to serve.

If you'd prefer, this recipe can be made without the cheese.

Sprinkle the top with a mixture of poppy and sesame seed for extra color.

Trade traditional burger buns for buttery crescent rolls for a new twist on sloppy joes, made ultra-easy with jarred sauce.
