Taco Ring

Here is a fun recipe (and easy too!) that I have been making for years! I got the recipe from Pampered Chef (and it's tweaked just a litte from the original recipe).



Taco Ring

3/4 pound lean (90%) ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons water
2 packages (8 ounces each) refridgerated cresent rolls

Garnishes:
salsa
tomatoes
lettuce
onion
sour cream
olives
and whatever else you like

Preheat oven to 375*F. Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium heat 7-9 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain. Remove pan from heat. Stir in taco seasoning mix, cheese, water.

Unroll crescent dough; seperate into triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on a round pizza pan (I use the stoneware from Pampered Chef) with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside. There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in center. Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangle. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. Filling will not be completely covered. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Top with favorite garnishes and enjoy!

(I wish I would have taken a picture of the ring when it was done before I cut it. Next time I will and I'll add it to this post.)
