Crescent mozzarella meat pie is perfect for those summer days when you need a last minute dinner. It is so easy to put together last minute and your family will eat it up. Add some veggies to the side, and a fruit, and you have a perfect dinner.
We enjoy eating this crescent mozzarella meat pie with some cooked carrots or even some asparagus. Green beans are also great, or even try adding some frozen peas that are cooked in the micro wave.

Tips and Tricks For Crescent Mozzarella Meat Pie:
- I ended up using a few more crescents from a second can, however you can use an 8″ pie plate or even roll them out thinner. I used 2 extra pieces and cut the thicker end off so that I could put the pointed end into the center of the crust.
- If I am really in a big hurry, I used dried onions in place of chopping up an onion. I use 1 Tablespoon.
- We also love to add some lemonade to this meal, and if you want, you could add some veggies and dip to go with your yummy meat pie.
