Ingredients

  • Crescent Roll Dough: 2 (8 oz) cans, refrigerated
  • Ground Beef: 1 lb, lean
  • Taco Seasoning: 1 packet (1 oz)
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 ½ cups
  • Sour Cream: ½ cup
  • Chopped Lettuce: 1 cup
  • Diced Tomatoes: 1 cup
  • Chopped Onions: ½ cup
  • Sliced Black Olives: ¼ cup
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup of water. Simmer until thickened, then remove from heat.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, pinching seams together to form a solid base.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over the crescent base. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crescent crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let cool slightly. Add toppings like chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, and sour cream.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • Let the crescent dough come to room temperature for easier handling.
  • Drain meat thoroughly to avoid soggy crust.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to preserve texture.
