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
