4-Ingredient Beef Crescent Squares

recip


  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll crescent dough; separate into 8 rectangles (press perforations together if needed).

3. Assemble Squares

  • Spoon 2–3 tbsp beef mixture onto one half of each rectangle.
  • Sprinkle with cheddar cheese (if using).
  • Fold dough over filling; press edges to seal.
  • Optional: Crimp with a fork for extra security.

4. Bake to Perfection

  • Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.

5. Serve Warm

  • Let cool 2–3 minutes (filling is hot!).
  • Serve with ketchup, ranch, or extra cheese on top.

Serving Suggestions

  • 🥗 With sides: Simple green salad, steamed broccoli, or coleslaw
  • 🍟 For kids: Serve with sweet potato fries or apple slices
  • 🍲 Make it a meal: Pair with tomato soup or chili

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Assemble unbaked squares up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate. Add 2–3 mins to bake time.
  • Reheat: Warm in oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes—microwaving softens crust.
  • Freeze: Freeze unbaked squares on a tray, then transfer to a bag; bake from frozen (+5 mins).
