STEP 1:

To make this taco bake, I started by dumping some lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

I added some diced yellow onions to the pan with the ground beef.

STEP 2:

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

STEP 3:

Then I added an undrained can of Rotel and a packet of taco seasoning to the pan.

I stirred until all of the ground beef was coated in taco seasoning.

STEP 4:

I cooked the ground beef and Rotel mixture for a few minutes, until no liquid remained in the pan.

Then I removed the pan from the heat and set it aside.

STEP 5:

I sprayed a 16-inch round baking sheet with cooking spray.

Then I opened two packages of Pillsbury crescent rolls and separated all sixteen triangles of dough.

Then I arranged the triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points extending to the outside of the pan.

I left a 5 inch opening in the center of the ring.

STEP 6:

I added some shredded Mexican cheese blend to the pan with the ground beef mixture.

Then I stirred the cheese into the meat.

STEP 7:

I scooped the meat mixture in a circle on top of the wide ends of the crescent rolls.

Then I sprinkled some more shredded cheese on top of the meat.

STEP 8:

I brought the points of the triangles up over the meat and tucked them under the dough in the center to form a ring.

STEP 9:

I placed the pan in the oven and baked the taco ring until the crescent rolls were golden brown.

Then I removed the pan from the oven.

I placed a bowl in the center of the ring with some shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and sour cream.

You can serve your crescent ring with your favourite taco toppings.
