Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup, chopped green onion
- 0.25 cup, sliced (optional) black olives
- 0.5 cup (for serving) sour cream
- 0.5 cup (for serving) salsa
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine, then cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
On a large baking sheet or pizza stone, arrange the crescent roll dough triangles in a circular pattern to form a sun shape. The wide ends of the triangles should overlap in the center, while the pointed ends should point outward like rays.
Spoon the cooked taco meat onto the wide ends of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the meat.
Carefully fold the pointed ends of the dough triangles over the meat and cheese, tucking them underneath the wide ends to form a ring. Some filling may show through, which is fine.
Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Garnish the taco ring with chopped green onion and sliced black olives, if using.
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
