Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 0.666 cup water
• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
• 3 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Pinch the seams together to seal.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the crescent roll crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 7

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Spread the sour cream evenly over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer.

Step 10

If desired, top with sliced black olives, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions for added color and flavor.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your Taco Crescent Bake!
