Taco Meatball Ring image

While it looks complicated, this attractive meatball-filled ring is really very easy to assemble. My family loves tacos, and we find that the crescent roll dough is a nice change from the usual tortilla shells or chips. There are never any leftovers when I serve this at a meal or as a party appetizer! -Brenda Johnson, Davison, Michigan

I made this recipe with ground turkey instead of beef and it was just as delicious. I also used whole wheat bread crumbs instead of white. It was a healthier version of a classic dish.
