Taco Ring Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 cans crescent roll dough (8 rolls per can)
- 1 cup shredded taco blend cheese (or cheddar/Monterey Jack)
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, taco sauce, guacamole, chopped green onions
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll can, usually 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Taco Meat
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning and follow the packet instructions (usually adding about 2/3 cup water, then simmering until the liquid is mostly absorbed).
- Remove the meat from heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Crescent Ring
- On a large baking sheet or pizza stone, lay out the crescent roll triangles in a circular pattern, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward. This should create a “sun” shape with a hole in the middle.
- Spoon the taco meat onto the wide part of each triangle, spreading it evenly around the ring.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the taco meat.
- Fold and Bake
- Carefully fold the pointed ends of each crescent roll over the taco meat and cheese, tucking the tips under the wide ends to secure them.
- Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Let the taco ring cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a serving plate or slice directly on the baking sheet.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings in the center or on the side: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, taco sauce, guacamole, or chopped green onions.
Tips:
- Crispier Edges: For extra-crispy crescent edges, brush the tops lightly with melted butter before baking.
- Custom Meat Option: Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or shredded chicken for a different twist.
