Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
- 8 ounces shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
- 1 (14-ounce) bag tortilla chips, crushed (or to taste)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll the crescent dough and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, sealing any seams. Bake according to package directions until lightly golden, then remove from the oven.
- While the crust bakes, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed, then stir in the taco seasoning until evenly coated.
- Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over the baked crust. Spread the sour cream over the beef layer, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Finish by scattering crushed tortilla chips over the cheese layer.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve with your favorite taco toppings if desired.
Chefs Notes
- For extra flavor, add a layer of refried beans between the crust and beef.
- Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Use flavored tortilla chips like nacho cheese or chili lime for a punch of extra taste.
- Top with fresh ingredients like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or sliced olives after baking for added texture and freshness.
- This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats easily in the oven or microwave.
