A A A

• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1/2 lb bulk sausage
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup small- curd cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 2 (8 oz) packages crescent roll dough

• 1 Brown the beef, sausage, basil, oregano, salt, tomato paste and garlic powder together.
• 2 Mix the egg, cottage cheese, and parmesan cheese together.
• 3 Unroll one package of crescent roll dough keeping the rectangles together and press the seam between each rectangle shut. Arrange the rectangles on a baking sheet to form one large square or cirle of dough. (I usually overlap the rectangles a bit to form a circle shape because my baking sheet is circular!).
• 4 In the middle of the dough layer the meat mixture and cheese mixture several times leaving 1 inch of dough around the edges uncovered. Use the mozzarella cheese as the top layer.
• 5 Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough in the same way and use these rectangles to cover the filling stretching the dough to touch the bottom layer of dough. Go all the way around the circle and fold the outside edge of the bottom layer of dough over the top layer of dough and press with a fork to seal.
• 6 You can sprinkle the top of the roll with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes or until dough is lightly browned and cooked through and the filling is heated through and cheese melted.
