Cuisine American, Midwestern

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pkgs refrigerated crescent rolls (do not separate rolls)
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Unroll one package of crescent rolls without separating the triangles. Place it in the bottom of the dish and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and season the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  • Push the beef to the outer edges of the skillet and add butter to the center. Once melted, add onions, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add shredded cabbage to skillet. Cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Spread the meat and cabbage mixture over the baked crescent crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  • Top with the second unrolled crescent dough sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add a pinch of caraway seeds for an authentic flavor boost. Serve with mustard or a side salad for a complete meal.
