How to Make Beef N Green Bean Pie

- Meanwhile, separate 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough into 8 triangles.
- Place the crescent roll triangles in an ungreased 9-inch pie plate, points toward the center.

- Stir 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the beef and green bean mixture.

- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
