Ingredients
For the filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the dough:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
Toppings:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Extra shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned.
- Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Arrange the Crescent Rolls
- On the prepared baking dish, arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circular pattern with the wider ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a ring.
- Press the overlapping dough in the center to seal the base.
Step 4: Add the Filling
- Spoon the beef and cheese mixture evenly onto the wider part of the crescent dough ring.
- Fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling, tucking them underneath to form a sealed ring.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
- Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden shine.
- Sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning and extra shredded cheese, if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Bake the taco ring in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 7: Serve
Let the taco ring cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite taco toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or shredded lettuce.
Tips for Success
- For extra flavor, add diced onions or bell peppers to the beef mixture.
- Ensure the crescent roll dough overlaps properly to prevent the filling from leaking.
- Use a pizza cutter to easily slice the taco ring for serving.
Conclusion
This cheesy crescent roll taco ring is a fun and creative way to enjoy tacos in a shareable form. With its crispy crust, savory filling, and endless topping possibilities, it’s sure to be a hit at your next dinner or gathering.
