Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Optional Garnish
- ¼ cup diced bell pepper (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the wreath evenly.
- Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions, then drain any excess grease and let the mixture cool slightly to make handling easier.
- Arrange Dough: On a baking sheet, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle with the wide ends overlapping in the center, creating a wreath shape.
- Add Filling: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly along the wide center ring of the dough circle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef to make it cheesy and delicious.
- Fold Dough: Carefully fold the pointed ends of each crescent triangle over the beef and cheese filling towards the center to form the wreath, sealing the edges.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Notes
- Garnish with diced bell peppers or fresh lettuce for a pop of color.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauces to enhance the flavor.
- Allow the wreath to cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape.
