Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
2 cans (8 oz) crescent rolls

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brown ground beef and chopped onion in a large frying pan over medium heat until meat has lost its pink color.
Drain any grease and return the meat to pan.
Add the water and taco seasoning mix
Continue to heat until mixture thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove pan from heat.
Open cans of rolls, unroll dough and separate into triangles.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the wide sides of the triangles in the center with the tips overlapping, forming a sunburst design. The longer tips of the triangles should face out. This will leave a circle in the center. Spoon the beef around the overlapping portions of the dough to form a large circle. Spoon the beef around the overlapping portions of the dough to form a large circle. Top the beef mixture with the cheddar cheese. Pick up the outer point of a triangle and lay it over the top of the meat and cheese. Tuck the point underneath the inside of the circle of dough so the meat and cheese are covered. Continue this around the circle until all the outer points are folded over and tucked into the center.

Notes

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS FOR TACO RING:

tomatoes
green onions
salsa
shredded cheese
shredded lettuce
sour cream
avocadoes
green olives
black olives

*To help the uncooked crescent rolls stay in a circular shape, place a 4 to 5-inch wide bowl in the center and work around it. Remove the bowl before baking.

*Apply a light egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon of water) to give the taco ring a nice, shiny brown look after it bakes.

*Don’t overfill the crescent dough. Otherwise, the filling will spill out of the openings while the ring bakes.
