Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)

• 1 cup salsa

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

• 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional, for serving)

• 1 medium tomato, diced (optional, for serving)

• Jalapeño slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
• Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, then simmer for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9-inch pie dish, forming a crust. Pinch the seams together to seal.
• Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the crescent dough.
• Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
• Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and jalapeños, if desired.

Notes

• You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• For added flavor, sprinkle some taco seasoning over the cheese before baking.
• Feel free to add black beans or corn to the beef mixture for more texture and flavor.
