Bake: Bake in the preheated oven until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 20-30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
If you don't have crescent rolls, puff pastry can be used as a delicious alternative.
Consider adding other vegetables, such as carrots or mushrooms, for a heartier casserole.
