How To Make Taco Casserole With Crescent Rolls

Step 1: Prepare ground beef

Cook beef in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the hamburger is done cooking, drain grease, and add taco seasoning mix and stir well.

Step 2: Form the taco crescent ring

Place the crescent dough in a circle on an ungreased large cookie sheet, or pizza pan. The short sides of the triangles should be on the outer edge of the dough ring. Once you have it arranged begin to spoon beef meat mixture to the outer edges of the wide ends of the crescent rolls. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Begin folding over the short end of the crescent ring and pull it to the center.
