How To Make

First you brown a pound of ground beef with a little onion and add a packet of taco seasoning.

Next I add a little cream cheese to the mixture for added flavor and some creaminess, plus it helps bind the mixture together.

Arrange the crescent rolls in a circle with the pointy ends sticking out. You want the open circle in the middle to be about 5-6 inches across. Spread the taco meat out over the wide part and top with shredded cheese.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup water
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brown ground beef along with onion in a large pan, breaking ground beef apart with a wooden spoon. Add water and taco seasoning and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
