Quick And Easy Casserole Version Of Pampered Chef Taco Ring Recipes

TACO RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the ground beef in a 10" (24-cm) Skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until it's no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles, then drain. Transfer the beef to a Classic Batter Bowl. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, and water.Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on a Large Round Stone with the wide ends of the triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside. There should be a 5" (13-cm)-diameter opening in the center of the stone. The narrow triangle points of dough will extend off the edge of the baking stone.Using a Large Scoop, scoop the filling evenly over the dough in a continuous circle. Bring the points of triangles up over the filling and tuck them under the dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.) Brush the top with the egg white. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden brown. Serve with toppings.

• Remove pan from heat.
• Stir in taco seasoning mix, cheese and water.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles.
• Arrange triangles in a circle on Classic Round Pizza Stone with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside. (There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in center.) I use my Pampered Chef pizza stone, but any flat round pan should work--perhaps even a pizza sheet, but I'd spray it with Pam before adding the crescent rolls.
• Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered).
• Bake at 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Shred lettuce and chop tomato, onion, olives, and bell pepper (if desired).
• If you want to do something fancy, scoop out a bell pepper and fill with salsa and put into center of ring.
• Add your toppings to top of ring and finish with more shredded cheese and sour cream.
• This is great with a salad.
