How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Beef Crescent Bake

Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onions and cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened.

Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Drain any excess grease.

Season the beef mixture with:

• Italian seasoning
• Paprika
• Salt
• Black pepper

Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 2: Add the Cheese

While the beef mixture is still warm, stir in:

• Cream cheese
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella cheese

Mix until creamy and slightly melted.

The cheese helps bind the filling together while adding rich flavor and gooey texture.
