25 minCrescent roll dough wraps around a savory filling of Italian-spiced ground beef and melted mozzarella, creating golden pockets that seal in all the pizza flavor.
The sleeping bag shape keeps everything tucked inside so kids can eat without the mess of traditional pizza.
Basil and oregano simmered with the meat and sauce deliver authentic pizza taste in every bite.
Chef Tips
- Brown the beef completely and drain excess fat before mixing with sauce
- Let the meat mixture cool slightly before filling to prevent dough from getting soggy
- Pinch and tuck edges firmly to seal in the filling during baking
- Add pepperoni or Italian sausage for extra pizza flavor
