Sloppy Joe Squares

Today I decided to organize the recipes I collected over the last year since we moved.  Then I decided to make a something for myself for dinner even though no one else was here to eat with me.  So here is the recipe that won out over all the rest.  Mostly because I had the ingredients and could have leftovers tomorrow for dinner and share some with my husband for lunch.  So here it is....

Sloppy Joe Squares

Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 can (16oz) sloppy joe sauce
2 cans big and buttery crescent rolls
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbs sesame seed

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat until thoroughly cooked; drain.  Stir in sauce.  Heat to boiling.

Unroll 1 can of the dough; place in ungreased 13x9 inch (3 inches up sides of dish) Spread beef mixture over dough; sprinkle cheese over beef mixture; place rest of crescent rolls over cheese.  Sprinkle with sesame seed.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until mixture is bubble and dough is golden

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft) Bake 35-40 minutes

I would say I took the picture after we cut some because I wanted you to see the center but the truth is I completely forgot.  

OK.....Here is the scoop.

I did a couple of things different.  There is no way 1 lb of meat is sufficient for a 13x9 pan.  I used a 9x9 dish and it worked great.  This cut out the 2nd package of crescent rolls.  If you have a bigger family (4 or more) you should use 2 lbs of meat and use the 13x9 pan.  I also added some garlic salt to the beef when i was browning it.  It is just something my husband and I almost always do.  It added a little flavor.  I used the Manwich brand sloppy joe sauce.  I used the regular but I bet if you like the bold it would be great too.

In the 9x9 pan it cooked a little quicker than 30 minutes.  Probably 28 minutes.  It was very golden brown.

I absolutely loved this recipe!!!!  I am actually sitting here about 5 hours later wishing I had more right now.  It is a quick easy meal which makes it even better!

Let me know what you think if you try it.
