(Makes 24 cups)

2 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough (or seamless sheet-style)
½ lb (225g) ground beef
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or white)
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt & black pepper to taste

💡 Pro Tips:
Use seamless crescent dough (like Pillsbury Seamless Crescent)—press directly into muffin tins for perfect cups.
Drain beef well—excess fat makes cups soggy.
Pre-bake cups 5 minutes before filling to prevent sogginess.
