Jill’s Taco Ring
- 1.5 -2 lbs of ground beef
- Taco Seasoning Packet
- 2 cups (8 oz) of shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
- 2-4
tblsp of water - Favorite Taco Toppings
Take your ground beef and cook until the pink is gone in a pan or skillet and remove from heat.
While your ground beef is cooking take a round pizza pan and start assembling the ring. Use a cup or round dish to help keep the ring round and place the pieces of the crescent roll around the ring overlapping each other with the pointed end out.
Take the drained ground beef, taco seasoning packet, 1.5 cups of cheese and 2 tbsp of water mix them all together in a large bowl. You want the mixture to be wet, not watery.
Take the mixture and place it around the ring of crescent rolls, making sure to keep it close to the center of the ring and even all the way around.
Then fold over the pointed end, making sure to cover all the beef mixture. You can use an egg wash or you can use a little water to brush over the taco ring to help keep the pastry from getting too dark/burnt.
Place in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for about 25-30 until the taco ring gets golden brown.
Pull out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes and then cut the ring into the desired portions. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Gonna try it…and expect it for snacking at Memorial Day w/e !!!!!!
Very creative! Looks cute, and sounds yummy!
How do you wrap it around the meat?
Lay the meat in the middle then take the peaks of the dough and fold over. Make sure the peaks are connected to dough below so it doesn’t come out. Does that help?
