Ingredients
  

  • 1 small onion chopped small
  • 8 oz ½ lb lean ground beef (95%)
  • 2 hot Italian sausage links preferably turkey but I didn’t have any
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped small
  • 8 oz mushrooms chopped small
  • 1 large bell pepper chopped small
  • 2 Reduced Fat Packages of Crescent Rolls
  • 2 oz Turkey Pepperoni slices 60g
  • 4 oz fancy shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz fancy shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
  • 16 oz of your favorite pizza/red sauce
  • garlic powder
  • dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Remove the casing from the sausage and brown with the ground beef and onion.
    1 small onion chopped small, 8 oz ½ lb lean ground beef (95%), 2 hot Italian sausage links, 16 oz of your favorite pizza/red sauce
  • Chop the zucchini, mushrooms and bell pepper and add it to the browning meats.
    1 medium zucchini chopped small, 8 oz mushrooms chopped small, 1 large bell pepper chopped small
  • While the meats and veggies are cooking spray the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread 1 of the packages of crescent rolls on the bottoms sealing the seems and pushing to the edges and corners.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes until just browning.
  • Top the cooked crescent roll with a layer of turkey pepperoni, 2 oz of mozzarella and 2 oz of mexican cheese blend.
    2 Reduced Fat Packages of Crescent Rolls, 2 oz Turkey Pepperoni slices, 4 oz fancy shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
  • Layer in the cooked meat/veggie mixture and top with the remaining pepperoni.
    1 large bell pepper chopped small
  • Pour on the sauce and spread around. I only used a small, 16 oz jar, knowing the addition of veggies will add even more liquid to the dish once baked. Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Lay the remaining crescent dough on top pressing down firmly and spreading to the edges again. I sprinkled with a bit of garlic powder and dried parsley instead of adding additional cheese.
    garlic powder, dried parsley, 4 oz fancy shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until the top crescent starts to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cook for 5 minutes to help it set.
  • Cut into eight squares and enjoy!
