This is one of those old-timey recipes that's been handed down and adapted from my grandma, to my mom, to me. It's a simple hamburger-type casserole dish that's easy and satisfying.

Ingredients

1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
⅓ cup diced white onion
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ pinch garlic salt
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add green beans, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until onion is tender, about 5 minutes; drain well and return to the skillet. Pour in tomato sauce and garlic powder and mix until well combined. Set aside.
Press the crescent roll dough into the bottom and sides of an 8-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
Combine Monterey Jack cheese and egg in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture into the bottom of the crust. Top with all of the beef mixture. Finish with remaining cheese mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until egg is set and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.
