CHEESY ITALIAN RICOTTA & BEEF PIE
We love that this easy dinner recipe had so much flavor. It reminded us of an upside down pizza. The cheese layer seriously adds so much cheesiness to the recipe. Crescent dough, brushed with garlic butter and fresh Parmesan cheese, is an excellent topping. We were a little concerned when we opened the oven that we overcooked...
