I love it when I cook something and it is such a hit that I don’t have to worry about leftovers. It is sad though and a waste but leftovers tend to be forgotten about in our house and the dogs usually end up with a messy experiment or something tasty. They are dogs so they win either way. Well this recipe I made is very similar to the Pillsbury Italian Crescent Casserole Recipe but I changed the kind of sauce used but I am sure it is just as good either way.

I recently taught a cooking class for the youth in our church. I explained to them that if you can brown beef you can make so many meals. This one included.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef, cooked, drained
• 1 cup Three Cheese Pasta Sauce (the original called for a different kind. I love this one more so I used it)
• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend (6 oz)
• ¼ teaspoon dried basil leaves
