Tasty Tuesday

I know! I know! I did not post a "Tasty Tuesday" entry last week! Forgive me, I was fighting viral bronchitis and didn't work for two days! I am just now feeling better and its been over a week! So, to make it up to everyone, I am going to post TWO (not one, but TWO!) Tasty Tuesday entries this week.

I love mexican food, but I really love quick and easy mexican food! Therefore, the following recipe has become a staple at our house for a quick and easy dinner that is de-lish!  Thanks to my big sister, Michelle, for introducing this one to our family!

Taco Ring


Ingredients:
1 lb. of ground hamburger meat
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 cup of shredded cheese (I use the Mexican Blend)
2 packages of crescent rolls

Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook ground beef until brown, drain and rinse.
3. Add the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. (I add them to the packet to rinse out the residual seasoning).
4. Add cheese to seasoned taco meat and stir well to mix cheese as evenly as possible. Set aside.
5. Use a round pizza pan, spray with cooking spray, take the crescent rolls and place them on a pan with the points facing outward in a circular shape. It should look like a sun with the wide ends of the crescent rolls making the inner part of the sun and the tips making the outer part of the sun.
6. Spoon meat onto the inner part of the circle then wrap the tips inward to cover meat. You should get a crescent roll wreath stuffed with meat/cheese mixture.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Slice into sections before serving.

Serve with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, taco sauce, refried beans, and sour cream (or any combination of the above). Jim and I like to pile our Taco ring slices high with various toppings- the more the better! This dish reheats well so makes great leftovers.





I stole this picture from Pinterest but this is what the ring should look like when it is done baking!
