Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a pie dish or baking pan.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up as it cooks for an even texture. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes flavorful.
Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared dish, forming a crust. Pinch any seams together.
Spread the cooked taco meat evenly over the crust.
Add a layer of sour cream on top of the meat, spreading it gently.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Top with diced tomatoes and green onions if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a side of salsa, guacamole, or a fresh salad. It’s also great with a drizzle of hot sauce for extra kick.
