i'm not impressed with this recipe, entirely. it was okay, but severly boring and lacking in the variety department. it's pretty basic and extremely easy to make. next time i'll try adding in more ingredients like chopped onions and more tomato sauce and/or chopped tomatoes. i added ranch dressing to the side to kick up the flavor. jon tried it with ketchup.

crescent cheeseburger pie
pillsbury kid's bake-off

1 pound lean ground beef
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (from 1.25 ounce package)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 can (2-1/4 ounce) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 can (8 ounce) pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Heat oven to 350ºF. In large skillet, cook ground beef, salt, garlic salt and pepper over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Stir in seasoning mix, tomato sauce, water and olives. Reduce heat to medium; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, separate dough into 8 triangles. Place triangles in ungreased 9 inch glass pie pan or 8-1/4 inch round glass baking dish; press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Spoon hot beef mixture over mozzarella cheese. Top with Cheddar cheese.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges.
