How to Make Quick And Easy Casserole Version Of Pampered Chef Taco Ring

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 packet taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is well seasoned and the liquid is absorbed. Add more water if needed.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Unroll one can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, reserving 2 triangles for later.
  5. Spread 1 (15 ounce) can of refried beans evenly over the crescent roll layer.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the beans.
  7. Layer the seasoned ground beef evenly over the cheese.
  8. Spread the remaining refried beans over the beef.
  9. Top with a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) of your favorite salsa.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa.
  11. Arrange the reserved crescent roll triangles on top of the cheese, slightly overlapping. Do not completely cover the casserole.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the crescent rolls are golden brown.
  13. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra salsa, sour cream, and chopped green onions (optional).
  14. **Pro Tip:** For a fun twist, use large flour tortillas instead of crescent roll dough! Simply cut the tortillas into strips and layer them in the bottom of the dish instead.
