Description

Skip the pasta for this crescent roll lasagna recipe, bursting with flavor from a three-cheese, three-herb, ground beef, and Italian sausage filling.

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 cup creamed cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
2 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

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.
