A crispy, cheesy taco ring made with crescent roll dough, seasoned ground beef, and melty cheeses. Perfect for parties and quick gatherings, this easy recipe delivers bold flavors and a flaky, golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio preferred)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 g)
  • 2 cans large crescent roll dough (about 8 oz / 226 g each)
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp jalapeño slices (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing dough edges)
  • Sour cream and salsa (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef, stir well, and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and add softened cream cheese. Stir until melted and fully combined with the beef.
  5. Unroll crescent roll dough on the baking sheet. Separate each triangle and arrange them in a large circle with wide ends overlapping in the center and pointed ends facing outward.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the wide ends of the dough triangles, leaving the center clear. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef filling. Add green onions or jalapeño slices if using.
  7. Fold the pointed ends over the filling and tuck under the overlapping dough in the center to seal the filling inside the ring.
  8. Brush the exposed dough edges with melted butter or olive oil.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until dough is puffed, golden brown, and cheese is bubbly. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the ring to prevent leaks. Brush dough edges with butter or olive oil for a golden, crispy crust. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Use a serrated knife to slice for best results. Refrigerate assembled ring up to 24 hours before baking or freeze for up to 2 months.
