Taco Bake with Crescent Rolls
Taco seasoned ground beef and beans, cheese, lettuce, and tomato all atop a flaky crescent roll crust. A perfect weeknight dinner!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz can Pillsbury crescent rolls the sheet dough works great
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 15 oz can black beans drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 2.2 oz cheddar cheese grated (3/4 cup)
- 2.2 oz pepper jack cheese gated (3/4 cup)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 large roma tomato diced
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium high heat until completely browned. Drain off any fat and add the black beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- While the meat is browning, unroll the crescent roll dough. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, making sure to seal all of the seams. I like to press it up the sides about 1/4 - 1/2 inch.
- Spread the meat mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is light brown and the cheese is melted.
- While it is baking, wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes.
- Before serving, sprinkle the lettuce and diced tomato over the top of the melted cheese. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- If you can find the crescent roll sheet dough, it's easier to use!
- Feel free to add any additional garnishes your family enjoys! We've tried avocado, sour cream, green onions, and crushed tortilla chips.
