Taco Ring

This is one of my favorite (and easy) dishes to make. It is delicious and a beautiful presentation

Taco Ring

2 (8-oz) packages refrigerated crescent rolls

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef

1 package taco seasoning

1 3/4 C shredded Cheddar cheese

2 Tablespoons Water

1 egg white, lightly beaten

Optional Toppings: Salsa, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and/or guacamole

Preheat oven to 375. Cook ground beef in Skillet for 10-12 minutes, or until no longer pink, and break beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and water.

Take out a large round pizza or cooking stone.
Unroll both packages of crescent rolls and separate into 16 triangles.

Arrange triangles on pizza stone, slightly overlapping, in a circle with wide ends 4 inches from edge of baking stone. The points should extend off the edge of the baking stone. Roll the wide ends of dough toward center to create a 5-inch opening.

Using a Large cookie scoop, scoop meat filling evenly over dough in continuous circle. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under dough at center to form a ring.

Brush with egg white and sprinkle remaining cheese.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Then serve with toppings.
