¼ cup water

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons diced green onions
Directions
1
Cook the ground beef. Add one pound of ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef until it’s browned, around 5-7 minutes. Drain any grease from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 water to the skillet and stir to combine all of the ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from the stove.
2
Fill the crescent rolls. Roll out the crescent rolls on a piece of parchment paper. Add a spoonful of the taco seasoned beef mixture about an inch from the top of each crescent roll dough triangle. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
3
Roll up the crescent rolls. Starting at the top of the crescent roll dough, roll the dough over the beef and cheese, and continue rolling up tightly. Fold any excess dough on the side over the top of the crescent roll. Transfer the taco crescent rolls to a baking sheet.
4
Bake the crescent rolls. Place in a preheated 375°F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cresent rolls are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Frequently asked questions
6
Can you make them ahead of time? You can cook the taco seasoned ground beef ahead of time, but I recommend assembling and baking them right before serving for the best texture.
7
Can you add cream cheese to the taco rolls? You sure can! Feel free to add 1/2 tablespoon cream cheese to each crescent roll before adding the ground beef and cheddar cheese. This will make for an extra creamy, cheesy taco crescent roll!
8
Can you add other ingredients inside the crescent rolls? Yes, just make sure not to overstuff the crescent rolls. Sometimes I like to saute a little onion, bell pepper and jalapeno in with the ground beef. I’ve also mixed in a 4 ounce can of diced green chilies with the ground beef and that’s delicious too!
9
Can you make the recipe vegetarian? Absolutely! Simply swap the ground beef for meatless crumbles, like Impossible meat, or swap in your favorite brand of soy chorizo.
