Units
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casings removed
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until soft, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into crumbs, until no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Unroll crescent dough and press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
- Spoon the sausage mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked sausage to save time on busy weeknights.
- Add mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies.
- Cover with foil if cheese browns too quickly during baking.
