Our Cheesesteak Crescent Braid Recipe is an easy family dinner recipe filled with beef, cheese, and veggies.
Serving6
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 12 ounces steak, cooked and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 6 green onions, diced
- 16 ounces crescent roll dough, 2( 8 ounce cans) refrigerated
- 1 ½ cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, melt butter. Add in red pepper and onions and saute until vegetables are soft and tender
- Remove skillet from heat and mix cooked steak with vegetables.
- Unroll 1 can of crescent dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and firmly press and stretch dough to make the dough into one big piece. Press or roll into a rectangle.
- Spoon half of the steak mixture in a 2-inch wide strip lengthwise down center of dough so that it's within 1/4-inch of each end. Sprinkle cheese over the steak mixture.
- Make cuts 1 inch apart on long sides of rectangle just to edge of filling (I used a pizza cutter to cut my dough). To make it look like a braid, , fold strips of dough at an angle halfway across filling with ends slightly overlapping, alternating from side to side. Fold ends of braid underneath the loaf to seal.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients on another ungreased cookie sheet.
- Brush both braids with beaten egg. (You don't have to use all of the egg, just brush enough on to cover the top).
- Place cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until braids are golden brown.
- Let braids stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- You can easily cut this recipe in half to feed a smaller family.
- You can use any color of bell pepper for this recipe - a mixture of red and green bell pepper is our favorite.
