Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 6 squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) can crescent roll dough
1 1/2-2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (1 ounce) packages old el paso taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
0.5 (6 ounce) can water
1 (8 ounce) package shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
salt and pepper, to taste
2 medium tomatoes, finely diced and seasoned with a little salt and pepper
sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x12 inch oblong pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Brown ground beef, then place in a colander to drain fat.
  • In the same pan, cook onions, then add cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, garlic powder, tomato paste and water (half of the empty tomato paste can filled with water). Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until well combined and sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place taco beef in a colander to allow any excess sauce to drain (this will keep crust from getting soggy).
  • Place crescent roll dough in prepared pan, and spread out with fingers to touch the sides. Press down on perforated edges to close them.
  • Place drained taco beef on top of dough, then cover with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and dough is lightly browned.
  • Cut into squares and top each serving with diced tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Makes 6 generous servings.
  • VARIATIONS: If desired, you can use light or fat free sour cream for the garnish. You can also substitute cheese with a package of shredded Mexican or Taco flavored cheese if you want.

CRUSTY CRESCENT TACO SQUARES

I found this recipe in a old cookbook and my family loves it!

Provided by Shawna Calkins

Categories     Casseroles

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
2- 8 oz cans crescent dinner rolls
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c chopped onion
16 oz can refried beans
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp oil
1/3 c cornmeal
2 c shredded lettuce
1 c tomatoes, chopped
taco sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Brown meat and onions together; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix, beans, and tomato sauce. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • 3. Unroll crescent rolls into triangles. Place in ungreased 10x15 jelly roll pan or casserole(I use a 9x13). Press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Brush dough with oil; sprinkle with cornmeal.
  • 4. Spoon hot mixture over crust. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cut into squares, top with lettuce, tomatoes and taco sauce, as desired.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • If you don't have a pizza cutter, you can use a sharp knife to score the dough into squares before baking.
  • Be careful not to overcook the dough, or it will become dry and hard.
  • If you are using a nonstick baking sheet, you may not need to grease it. However, if you are using a regular baking sheet, it is a good idea to grease it lightly to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • You can use any type of taco filling that you like. Some popular options include ground beef, shredded chicken, or black beans.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use anything from cheese and sour cream to guacamole and salsa.

Conclusion:

Crusty Crescent Taco Squares are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give Crusty Crescent Taco Squares a try!
