Taco Ring

I think of Christy when it comes to this recipe. When her and Ben were newlyweds, I remember Ben raving about the taco ring she made...he was super impressed. If only we could all keep ahold of "being impressed by your spouse" attitude. I think that's one of the top 5 things about being a newlywed!

1 2/3 cup ground beef

1 package taco seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons water

2 packages crescent roll

*to dress it up*

1 med. green pepper

1 cup salsa

3 cups lettuce, shredded

1 med. tomato

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1/2 cup pitted ripe olives

Sour cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown beef in skillet, add taco seasoning and water mix well over medium heat.

Meanwhile unroll crescent dough; separate it into triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on baking stone with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside.

Mix cheddar cheese with meat. Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangle. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring.

Bake 20 to 25 mins. or until golden brown.

Garnish with dress up ingredients.
