Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Arrange the triangles in an ungreased 9-inch square pan or a 10-inch pie plate, pressing them together to form a seamless crust along the bottom and up the sides. (10 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.

04

Step
5 mins

Stir in the salsa and taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

05

Step
25 mins

Spoon the savory meat mixture evenly over the prepared crescent roll crust. Sprinkle generously with shredded Cheddar cheese.

06

Step

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent crust is a deep golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

07

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a fresh, vibrant finish.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a layer of refried beans between the crust and the meat mixture.
Spice it up by using a hot salsa or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture.
Feel free to customize the toppings! Sour cream, guacamole, black olives, or chopped onions would all be delicious additions.
For easier serving, cut the bake into squares while still warm.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
