Ingredients for this recipe

Ingredient Notes

Ground beef- I use ground beef but you can certainly use ground turkey or chicken.

Taco seasoning- You can use prepackaged taco season or make a homemade version like this one from Pioneer Woman.

Salsa- I recommend using jarred salsa as it is let watery as fresh salsa.

How to make this recipe

Step 1 Add ground beef to a hot skillet and cook beef until brown, drain.

Step 2 Add in the packaged or your own homemade taco seasoning and salsa.

Step 3 Unroll the crescent roll and place it in a prepared casserole dish.

Step 4 Add the beef mixture on top followed by the shredded cheese.

Recipe tips

1. Instead of ground beef use ground turkey or even ground chicken.
2. If you like your crust crispier bake just the crescent roll for 4-5 minutes then add the meat and cheese and continue baking.
3. You can also use the full sheet crescent rolls.
4. I recommend using jarred salsa, It's thicker than fresh salsa.
