What You'll Need

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (1-1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.
Stir in taco seasoning; add water according to package directions. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Add cheese, stirring until it melts. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll crescent rolls. Place wide end of triangles in center of pizza pan, forming a ring, overlapping dough as necessary. Spoon meat mixture into center of each triangle. Bring smaller ends of triangles over meat, tucking ends under.
Bake 20 minutes, or until rolls are golden. Serve warm.

My wife and I both love tacos, as do our grandchildren, so this would be a nifty dish to make up for when they visit. I also like the suggestion in the comments about making it as a Philly cheesesteak ring. I usually add a bit of diced green pepper to the onion and beef when I'm making taco meat, so I'd definitely include that. I like the presentation illustrated in the photo, with the toppings nicely piled in the center of the ring.

Made this for new year's day dinner. The prep was easy as was the baking. But getting the baked ring onto a serving tray for dressing was quite a feat! Sure wish Mr. Food could have included a video segment of getting the baked product onto a serving tray!

Try putting parchment paper on the pan. When done, lift the paper slightly and slide the ring onto your serving dish.

As with most recipes you can always make them with less fat and calories, Subsitute using low fat cheeses, skim milk, light mayo, light butter, low fat soups, low sodium, it doesnt take much to be created just think, and there is even fat free bisquick so make your own dough. As always use of moderation. I always use less calorie, and fat free items, and my recipes turn out great, and my signifcant other doesnt even know it. Some things are best left alone.

Well stop being lazy and search for a program that will figure the nutritional info! I don't know how many times I've seen a post like yours. If there isn't the info you want you can find it yourself!

I have been making this recipe for several years (I got it from Pampered Chef), it is very good, a nice twist from the same old boring tacos!
