Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add tomato paste, onion, parsley, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
3
Combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg in a bowl.
4
Unroll 1 can crescent rolls on an ungreased 15x13-inch cookie sheet; press edges together to seal. Spread ½ meat mixture on top to within 1 inch of dough edge. Top with cottage cheese mixture. Carefully spoon remaining ½ meat mixture on top. Place mozzarella cheese slices on top of meat mixture.
5
Unroll remaining 1 can crescent roll; place dough on top, overlapping the edges by about ¼ inch. Pinch edges to seal to prevent leaking. Brush dough with milk; sprinkle on sesame seeds.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
