Cheeseburger Casserole - TASTES JUST LIKE MCDONALD'S CHEESEBURGERS!

As you may know I love to try new recipes.  For the most part I have been successful.  Very few I have just put in the trash!  Typically I can tell by the ingredients of a recipe if it would be my cup of tea or not.  When I saw this post on Pinterest fromhttp://asimplelifeinspired.blogspot.com/ I was curious and wondered if this recipe REALLY was like a McD's cheeseburger and it SO was and super easy too!  This is what it looked like piping hot out of the oven.


Here's the Recipe:

Cheeseburger Casserole:

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
1 - 1.5 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cups Cheddar cheese, sliced or grated (more if you want)
1 can 8 oz can Crescent Roll
1 Tbsp Milk
1 - 2  tablespoon sesame seeds

Brown beef with onion.  I always drain my meat - then add chopped dill pickles.  I added a little salt and pepper too.  Then add water, ketchup, mustard.  Mix together well and then put mixture in a 9x9 casserole dish. Make a single layer of cheese over the meat mixture.  Then unroll the tube of crescent rolls and pinch seams together and form over cheese or you can use a rolling pin and roll it out.  I left a little opening on the side for steam to escape or you can make a few slices across the top.  Brush milk on top of crescent roll and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.  Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown.  I let mine sit for just a few minutes out of the oven.

It was a total hit with the boyfriend and his son - who hates McDonald's food by the way - said this dish was "seriously good"!  Of course I just told him it was a cheeseburger casserole and didn't mention that it tasted just like McD's or maybe he wouldn't have even tried it! LOL
