Ingredients:

For the Crescent Roll Base:

• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup water

For the Topping:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
• Salsa and sliced jalapeños for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

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

2. Prepare the Crescent Roll Base:

   • Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange it in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing it to seal any perforations. This will be the base of your taco bake.

3. Cook the Ground Beef:

   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

4. Season the Beef:

   • Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef, then add the water. Stir well to combine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

5. Layer the Taco Filling:

   • Pour the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish, creating a layer of taco filling.

6. Bake:

   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the crescent roll base is golden brown and cooked through.

7. Add Toppings:

   • Once the taco bake is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, spread a layer of sour cream over the taco meat.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sour cream layer.
   • Top the taco bake with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped green onions if desired.

8. Serve:

   • Slice the taco bake into squares and serve it hot. You can offer salsa and sliced jalapeños on the side for those who like a bit of extra heat.

Enjoy your Pillsbury Crescent Roll Taco Bake as a fun and flavorful dinner option. It’s a perfect combination of flaky crescent rolls and zesty taco flavors that everyone will adore.
