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!
