  • Instructions
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and layer it in a baking dish, making certain to overlap the triangles to cover the bottom and sides of the dish.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked ground beef, mixing well to combine. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer, guaranteeing it covers it evenly.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and chopped green onions, or any additional toppings you prefer. The sweetness of crescent rolls adds a surprising balance to the savory flavors of the taco bake.
  • For an even more enjoyable cooking experience, consider using store-bought taco seasoning to speed up the process.
  • Pinching the dough edges together will help create a sealed crust, making certain your filling stays intact.
  • If you want to enhance the flavor, you can mix in beans or green chiles with the ground beef.
  • Don't forget to check the bottom of the dough using a clear pie dish to make sure it's browned to your liking.
  • Enjoy your taco bake!
