Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Taco Bake.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef and chopped onion, stirring them together until the beef is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and flavorful.
Step 4
Next, pour in some water and sprinkle in your taco seasoning, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Bring this mixture to a lively boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 6
Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the water has mostly evaporated, which will take around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 7
While that simmers, preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Now, it’s time to work with the crescent roll dough.
Step 9
Open the package and carefully separate the dough into individual triangles.
Step 10
On a pizza stone or baking pan, arrange the triangles in a circle with the points facing outward, creating a lovely ring.
Step 11
Spoon the savory ground beef mixture into the center of the dough, and don’t be shy—make it generous! Then, sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese over the beef, adding that delicious melty goodness.
Step 12
To finish, fold the points of the crescent rolls toward the center, sealing the dough together to form a delightful ring.
Step 13
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the dough is lightly golden brown and irresistible.
Step 14
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this tasty treat!.
