Pampered Chef


INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lb lean (90%) ground beef
1 pkg (1-1.25 ounces) taco seasoning mix
1 3/4 cups (7 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 tbsp water
2 pkg (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Optional toppings: salsa, shredded lettuce, chopped onion and tomato, sliced olives and sour cream


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook ground beef in (10-in.) Skillet over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles; drain. Transfer beef to Classic Batter Bowl. Stir in taco seasoning mix, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and water.

Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on Large Round Stone with Handles with wide ends 4-in. from edge of baking stone. (Points will extend off the edge of the baking stone.) Roll wide ends of dough toward center to create a 5-in. opening.

*Wide ends of the triangle are at the center, the points pointing outward. It creates a sun with a circle in the middle!

Using Large Scoop, scoop filling evenly over dough in a continuous circle. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.) Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with Toppings!

*Place tin foil on top last 10 mins of baking.
