We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F; spray a 9" glass deep dish pie plate with cooking spray.

  • Step 2: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add ground beef and cook, stirring to break apart, for 5 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, another 5 minutes; drain, then return to pan.

  • Step 4: Add Tabasco, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and spaghetti sauce to pan; cook and stir 5 minutes until starting to bubble.

  • Step 5: Meanwhile, in a separate bowl combine sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder and white pepper.

  • Step 6: Spread meat mixture in bottom of pie plate; spread sour cream mixture over top.

  • Step 7: Roll out crescent dough and separate into triangles; fit triangles, overlapping as necessary, to cover top of casserole. *You may end up with one extra, depending on how you lay them out. They should slightly overlap as you make your way around the edge.

  • Step 8: Combine butter, Parmesan and garlic powder and spread over dough.

  • Step 9: Bake at 375F for 20 minutes, until top is golden brown; let stand 5 minutes before serving (you'll need to use a spoon, this is definitely not a pie).
