Instructions:

1. Cook the meat:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together until fully cooked.

Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the pizza sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Let it simmer for about 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

2. Prepare the base:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Unroll the crescent rolls and press them into the bottom of the baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a solid crust.

3. Assemble the casserole:

Spread the meat mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the meat.

Top with sliced pepperoni if using.

4. Bake:

Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve:

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve hot and enjoy!
