Bean 'N' Beef Crescent Pie (TNT)
I used a little more beef, probably 2 pounds. I also used a whole 8 ounces of cream cheese instead of just 4 ounces, and I put in 2/3 cup of salsa (I used Medium Salsa) and I know I used more refried beans than 1/2 cup, but I didn't measure it. I used about half a can or maybe a little more. I just eyeballed that one. This came out REALLY good. My husband and I love it. Bean 'N' Beef Crescent Pie Serves: 6 Source: Quick Cooking "My husband loves this meal," writes Marla Miller from Englewood, Tennessee. Convenient crescent roll dough is the quick crust for this savory south-of-the-border sensation. Ingredients: 1 -1/4 pounds ground beef 1 envelope taco seasoning 1/3 cup salsa 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls 4 ounces cream cheese softened 1/2 cup refried beans 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese (4 ounces) Instructions: In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning and salsa; simmer, uncovered, until thickened. Meanwhile, unroll crescent roll dough. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish; seal perforations. Spread cream cheese over the dough. Stir the refried beans into beef mixture. Spoon over cream cheese layer. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Yield: 6-8 servings.
