My wife has a wonderful recipe that she got from her wonderful mom. It is absolutely delicious… and incredibly unhealthy. The name comes from opening the cans of Pillsbury crescent roll dough. It always scared my wife as a child… thus… Exploding Dough Casserole. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 lb or more of ground beef
• 1/4 teaspoon chopped onion (optional)
• 1 envelope McCormick Spaghetti Sauce Mix
• 8 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 8 oz can refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375
2. In fry pan, brown ground beef and onion together and drain any excess fat
3. Stir in envelope of sauce mix and tomato sauce
4. Heat until hot and bubbly
5. In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and sour cream
6. Pour and spread hot meat mixture into 12×8 or 13×9 baking pan
7. Spoon cheese mixture over meat, cover evenly
8. Separate crescent doug into 2 rectangles
9. Place dough over cheese mixture
10. Bake 18 to 25 minutes, until dough is lightly browned
11. Combine parmeasan cheese and butter and spread evenly over dough with a few minutes remaining in the baking process
