Adriane's Taco Pie

Serves 4

1 can of crescent rolls
1-1&1/2 lbs of ground beef
Shredded cheese
1 packet taco seasoning
Optional: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, tortilla chips

1. Brown ground beef with seasoning packet.

2. Using a square 8x8 casserole dish, put half (4) of the can of crescent rolls on the bottom of the pan, gently stretching the dough to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Save the other half of the can for the top.

3. Put browned ground beef on top of the crescent rolls in the pan. Layer cheese on top of ground beef.

4. Slice remaining crescents into 1 & 1/2 inch strips. Layer strips on top of cheese in a criss-cross pattern.*

5. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Served with sour cream and avocado slices.

*Go ahead and double this recipe because it freezes really well. Prepare through step four, then freeze. To serve, allow to thaw completely in refrigerator and follow baking instructions.

Results: Don't be surprised, but Steven wouldn't touch this. We tried to get him to at least eat the crescent roll topping, but he wouldn't because there were teeny, tiny flecks of beef on them. Henry ate all of his. I think this is a really good, kid-friendly meal (unless your kid is mine). It's super easy to prepare and I love that it is no extra effort to prepare a second one for the freezer.
