DIRECTIONS:

In a skillet, brown meat over medium heat, with onion powder, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. When browned, add tomato sauce, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.  Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles.  Place dough in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate in spoke pattern, with narrow tips overlapping rim of the plate. Press dough inside and bottom of the pan to form a crust and cover the pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese over dough in the pan. Spoon meat mixture evenly over cheese. Bring tips of dough over filling, to meet in center; do not overlap. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
