🌮 Crescent Roll Taco Bake 🌮

🌟 A quick and delicious twist on taco night that's perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a comforting meal fast! 🌟

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 2 tablespoons Old El Paso taco seasoning mix from a 1-oz package
- 1 pound lean ground beef (at least 80%)
- 1 8-ounce can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup Old El Paso Thick n' Chunky salsa
- Shredded lettuce, as desired
- Diced tomato, as desired

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and lay them out in a greased 10-inch pie plate. Press down the dough, sealing the perforations to form a uniform crust that covers the bottom and sides of the plate.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's thoroughly browned. Be sure to drain any excess grease.
3. Add the salsa and taco seasoning to the cooked beef, stirring and cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well mixed.
4. Evenly distribute the beef mixture into the crescent roll crust you've prepared in the pie plate.
5. Generously top the beef with shredded Cheddar cheese.
6. Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown and the cheese has beautifully melted.
7. Once done, enhance your taco bake by adding fresh shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top before serving.
