Materials
2
8 oz.
Packages of Crescent Dough
1
lb.
ground beef
I like to use ground beef sirloin
1
1 oz.
package of taco seasoning
¾
cup
water
½
cup
sour cream
8
oz.
Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese Mix
shredded
Various taco toppings - shredded lettuce
chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, etc...
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Grease the muffin tins
In a large skillet over medium/high heat brown the meat
Drain the fat
Add the taco seasoning, and water to the browned meat
Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for about 3 to 4 minutes
Remove from heat
Open the crescent dough packages
Separate the triangles of dough, and place each triangle in a separate muffin tin, pressing the dough together where needed
Use a fork to poke some holes in the dough
Pre-Bake the dough in the muffin tins for about 3-5 minutes - just until dough is firm, and puffing up
Use the back of a spoon or a small ladle, to push the puffed up dough down, in the center, so you have room for the filling
To each crescent dough muffin, add in this order: 2 T of browned taco meat, 1/2 T of sour cream, and about 1 T of shredded cheese
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the dough is a golden color
