Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, making sure to seal any perforations.
Bake the crescent roll dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread the sour cream evenly over the baked crescent crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer.
Spread the cooked taco meat evenly over the cheese layer.
Top the taco meat with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the assembled casserole in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips evenly over the top.
Add the diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions as toppings.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
