🌮 Cheesy Taco Sticks 🧀

Savor the flavors of taco night in every bite! Perfect for busy weekdays or a fun family snack time.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 lb. ground beef

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's thoroughly browned. Drain off any excess fat.
3. Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked beef, following the packet's instructions, then remove from heat.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough and cut into 10 equal rectangles.
5. Place a spoonful of the seasoned beef on each rectangle, and top with a cheese stick half.
6. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, sealing the edges to enclose the beef and cheese completely.
7. Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the assembled taco sticks.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
9. Let the taco sticks cool for a few minutes before serving.
