Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in a plastic covered dish in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

Reheat: Place on a foiled lined baking sheet and cook at 350° for 12- 15 minutes or until heated through.

Variations: Add diced onions, bell peppers or jalapeños to the skillet and cook with the ground beef. Use any type of shredded cheese you have on hand. Cheddar, pepper-jack or mozzarella also works.

Crescent Dough Substitutions: If you don't have crescent dough, refrigerated pie crust or biscuits will also work.

Make Ahead: Cook the ground beef and bean filling ahead and store in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 2 days in advance. Add crescent dough and top with filling and cheese just before baking.
