Southwest Crescent Pie


Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (80% to 85% lean)
1 can (15 to 16 ounces) chili beans in chili sauce
1 can (14-1/2 to 15 ounces) chili-seasoned stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup frozen or drained canned Mexican-style corn
1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings.
2. Stir in beans, tomatoes and corn; bring to a boil. Cook about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Line 9-inch pie plate with dough triangles, placing narrow tips toward center. Firmly press edges of dough together to form crust. Bake in 375°F oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
4. Spoon beef mixture into crust. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges of crust are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Makes 4 servings.
