Beef and Bean Pie

Submitted by nascarmom

"We made this all the time when I was growing up. It originally came from the Pillsbury bake off book from the 1970's I think. We lost it for several years and I emailed the company and they sent it to me. It was one of my brother's favorite meals and when he came back from serving the Army in Iraq, we fixed it for him as a surprise. We never used the Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls like the recipe called for but would put it in a pie crust. Also, we left off the American cheese."
