Ingredients needed for the Crescent Roll Sloppy Joes
- 1 pound of ground beef

How to make the Crescent Roll Sloppy Joes
Now that you have got all of the ingredients together let's make the Crescent Roll Sloppy Joes.
Step one: Prep the Ingredients
One of the first things I like to do before I begin cooking any recipe is to ensure I gather all of the ingredients together and measure them out. Next, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare your baking sheet with some parchment paper. Get a large skillet ready for the next step.
Step two: Make the sloppy joe filling
Add the ground beef to a large skillet and cook over medium heat until browned. When the beef is cooked through, you will want to add the sauce and make sure to coat all of the ground beef with it. Cook the ground beef with sloppy joe sauce for an additional five minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Step three: Assembling the crescent roll sloppy joes
Now for the fun part. Assembling the sloppy joes. Unroll the Crescent roll dough and separate the triangles along the jagged edges with a sharp knife. Spread the sloppy joe beef mixture over the top of each crescent roll triangle. Then, sprinkle some of the shredded cheese on top. Using the back of a spoon gently press the meat and cheese into the dough. Carefully roll up the crescent rolls and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
Step four: Baking time
Now that all of your rolled crescent roll sloppy joes are on the baking sheet you will want to brush each of them with melted butter and sprinkle some seasoning salt across the top. Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cheese should have melted and the crescent rolls should be a lovely golden brown color. Enjoy!
