Common Questions
- → Can I make this ahead?
- You can cook the beef mix early, but it's best to put everything together and bake right before you want to eat it. You'll want those rolls warm and fresh.
- → What can I use instead of crescent rolls?
- You can try using pizza dough or puff pastry instead, but you might need to cook it longer or shorter. Nothing beats the look of crescent rolls though.
- → Can I add other toppings?
- Sure thing, throw on some chopped tomatoes, black olives, or spicy peppers. Just add them after cooking so your dough doesn't get wet.
- → How do I prevent the bottom from getting soggy?
- Make sure you drain your meat really well and let it cool down a bit before you put it on the dough.
- → Can I use ground turkey?
- Absolutely, ground turkey or chicken works too. Just remember to season them really well since they don't have as much flavor as beef on their own.
