This dish is amazing! I used zucchini in place of the green beans and just plain forgot about the bell pepper. I also had no garlic salt so I used two heaping tbsp. of chopped garlic and some seasoned salt and it was still awesome. DH also suggested that some chopped tomato might be nice and I agree. I think this dish would have to be somewhere in the top 10 of my all time favorite Zaar recipes. Needless to say this is something I will be making often and I imagine my kids will be asking for the recipe in 20 years :) Thank you so much for posting such a winner!

This is so yummy. It was my first time trying crescent dough as a pie crust. Very yummy. I used 1 medium onion and red bell pepper (near 1 cup). I didn't have green beans, so I used 1 zucchini, diced. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. For the cheese I used mozzarella. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. Made for PRMR tag game

Very, very nice, & definitely worth making again, for sure! I did use garlic powder instead of garlic salt & also substituted freshly steamed green beans for the canned version! Oh, & I sprinkled the meat with a bit of lemon pepper, but other than that the recipe was followed right on down! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This was very good for being so easy. Turned out better than I had hoped for. My crust was a bit soggy in the middle, but that may be because I baked it in my toaster oven since it was hot out. Things tend to get done a little faster in there, I should have dropped the temp a bit to allow the bottom to be caught up with the top. Still had great flavor though. I think next time I will use french cut green beans. Those are really the only kind of canned green beans I like, but I wanted to keep to the original recipe my first try. The beans were OK, but I think the french cut will be better!

5stars for a weeknight dinner. very easy to throw together even with a 2yr old screaming. I didn't have any tomato sauce so I did about a 1/4 c of ketchup and half can of diced tomatoes with garlic. my daughter is allergic to eggs so I left that out and just layered some sliced velveeta on the cresent rolls then the meat mixture and some grated cheddar to top it off. i also added some salt, pepper and seasoning salt to the ground beef. served with mashed tators. yummy. thnx for sharing i see this being a regular around here.
