Taco Ring (My Version)
- 2 (8 ounce) packages crescent rolls
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
- 34 cup refried beans, any variety
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 12 cup salsa, any variety
- lettuce, to serve (optional)
- tomatoes, to serve (optional)
- sour cream, to serve (optional)
- olive, to serve (optional)
- Unroll all crescent dough sections.
- place in a circle, on a baking sheet or stone, with the short ends facing in and the same direction overlapping by almost half.
- It will look like a fancy sun.
- Spread the refried beans around the circle and a little up each dough section if possible.
- Just make sure the layer is fairly thin.
- You may want to season the beans with salt at this point if they are very plain.
- Brown the groud beef.
- Add the taco seasoning and the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the cheese melts then add the salsa and heat until some of the liquid evaporates.
- Add the hot sauce.
- Spoon the beef mixture over the refried beans.
- If you dare, add a little more hot sauce at this point!
- To close the circle, bring each point of each crescent roll section in to the center and tuck under the ring to secure.
- I use a metal spatula to make this step easier and to prevent messes.
- Bake the taco ring in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
- Serve with the optional fixings, if you like.
