Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add Sauce: Stir the pasta sauce into the ground beef. Heat the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Prepare Crust: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. In an ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate, arrange the dough in a spoke pattern. The wide bases should overlap slightly in the center, and the narrow tips should hang over the rim of the plate by about 3 inches. Press the dough into the bottom and sides to seal and form a crust.

First Cheese Layer: Sprinkle 1 cup of the Italian cheese blend evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Add Filling: Spoon the beef and sauce mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Fold Dough: Bring the narrow tips of the crescent dough up and over the filling toward the center. Do not overlap the tips; leave the center slightly open.

Final Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the center opening. Dust the entire casserole evenly with the dried basil.

Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
