EQUIPMENT

  • 10-inch nonstick skillet
  • Cookie sheet

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 pkg taco seasoning*
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 can crescent rolls (Pillsbury refrigerated)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef until no longer pink and drain grease.
  • Add taco seasoning mix and simmer 2-4 minutes.
  • Add cheese and water and simmer, while stirring, until the cheese is melted and well mixed with the meat. Set aside.
  • Unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles, stretching slightly. On ungreased cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like the sun.
  • Spoon beef/cheese mixture on ring closest to the center of the ring.
  • Bring each triangle over the filling and tuck under its neighbor to secure it. Repeat around the ring until the ring is formed.
  • Bake 13-15 minutes until the ring is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5-10 minutes before cutting in to 8 slices.

NOTES

I use my own mix of salt, pepper, and chili powder instead of the packaged seasoning. Use whatever works for you! 
For a zip, serve with sour cream or guacamole. 
Pro Tip: Placing the crescent rolls on aluminum foil or parchment paper makes clean-up easy.
