Pillsbury has come up with the perfect dinner idea for busy moms and dads! I am in love with this recipe and I make all kinds of variations of it.
Sometimes I use turkey instead of beef, and I have even used shredded chicken leftovers for this. To add some heat, you could chop green chilies and throw them in there, too. If I don’t happen to have taco seasoning mix handy, I will add whatever seasonings I can find in my kitchen. It has turned out absolutely delicious every time!
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
3/4 cup Old El Paso™ Thick ‘n Chunky salsa
2 tablespoons Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
Instructions:
Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased 9-inch square pan or 10-inch pie plate; press over bottom and up sides to form crust.
In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in salsa and taco seasoning mix; simmer 5 minutes. Spoon meat mixture in crust-lined pan; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted. Served topped with lettuce and tomato, if desired.
