Easy Deep Dish Pizza Casserole

My family LOVES pizza.  We love it so much that we have it once a week! This Easy Deep Dish Pizza Casserole is another way to get your pizza fix if you are a fan like we are. This version comes together in a jiffy with the use of crescent roll dough. Then it is topped with a simple ground beef mixture and cheese.  All the pizza basics!
