This past week I ventured into some of my old recipes that I use to make often and for some reason or another I just stopped making. So you may have seen this post before if you followed me back in 2009. Chances are you didn’t and I think this is one recipe your kids will definitely thank you for.

TACO RING
First you want to preheat your oven to 375. Then take out your round stone and your crescent rolls. Open the packages of crescent rolls and separate them all. Then start to make a circle with them along the stone like below:
Then take a rolling pin and smooth out the bumps where the crescents over laid each other. If you don’t have a rolling pin, use your fingers, a can, or a cup.Then cook your hamburg accordingly, then drain.
Take your cooked hamburg, water, and taco seasoning and mix in small bowl.
Add cheese and mix well.
Once you have it mixed together really good grab a melon scooper or your Pampered Chef medium Scoop. Start to scoop the hamburg mixture along the base of the crescent rolls. Keep the “scoop” together as you go.
Once you have the entire circle done with the hamburg mixture begin to tuck the ends of the crescents over and then press it into it’s base keeping itself together. You will have to pinch some with your fingers. 
Once it’s completed it should look like this. Stick in oven for 22 mins or until golden brown.
It should look like this when it comes out.
Then you want to add your shredded lettuce in the center. You’re supposed to cut the pepper in half and pour the salsa into it for a pretty look but for just us why waste a good pepper?
Sprinkle with toppings your family likes 🙂

Pretty simple right? The first time you do this making the circle will be a bit frustrating. But once you do it you’ll get better at it. I can do the whole top process in about 10 mins now. Talk about a fast meal!I got this meal as well out of the Pampered Chef: Main Dishes Cookbook
omg that looks SO good.. .so much better then taco bell!:)
This is such a creative dinner idea! I know my youngest two would love it! Maybe I could even convince my oldest to try it 🙂
My son would definitely thank me for it! He’s not a big vegetable person so I like that we can both come away happy.
Terrific recipe! Thank you for sharing it with us! I just can’t wait to try it out!
This is also good on a rectangle stone and use the crescent rolls to make a braid like the Chicken and Broccoli Braid. You get larger servings and with two boys and a husband that loves this, I find the braid works better.
Oh yummy! Chicken and Broccoli braid?? Someone needs to be posting that so I can see and try!!! : )
This is a good and easy recipe, but I use fajita seasoning instead of taco which is wonderful.
This is a good and easy recipe. I was just trying to down load the pictures of how to do it.
I made this tonight and OMG it is delicious and so easy to make.
I made this last night Only had one can of dough but made it work, just had extra meat, I used a pound package. It was just my hubby and me but he said it was really good! I used to sell Pampered Chef and did a lot of these at my parties. I was doing them in homes before FB became a thing! Really love the products!
