White Castle Casserole

serves 6-8

The crescent rolls provides a butter, flaky "bun" filled with seasoned beef, cheese, and pickles. I really think the pickles made the dish. I chopped mine into small bits so as to optimize my pickle per bite ratio and to avoid that annoying mouth-full-of-pickle-and-nothing-else moment that often happens when eating a burger (am I the only one who experiences that?). Anyhoo, if you're a fan of the White Castle burger and are needing a little comfort, I definitely recommend this casserole. It may not be fancy but it sure tastes good.

Ingredients

2 Pillsbury Crescent Seamless Dough Sheets (2 cans)
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 package onion soup mix
8-10 slices of American Cheese
dill pickle slices, kept whole or chopped


Directions

Brown the meat in a pan over medium-high heat; drain, return to the pan, and add the onion soup mix. Continue to cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes to soften the onions in the mix (add in a couple of tablespoons of water, if needed). Set aside.

Spray a 9x13" glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Lay one sheet of crescent dough into the pan and shape to evenly cover the bottom.

Next, spread the browned and seasoned meat over the dough. top the meat with the cheese slices followed by the chopped pickles.

Finally, top with the second dough sheet, stretching and shaping as needed to cover the filling.

Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the dough is golden and the filling is hot. Let cool for a minute, then slice and serve.
