In Honor of Game Day: The Taco Ring Repost

Yes, I am reposting a recipe.

But this repost is in honor of a big game in Husker Nation today. Lots of people will be watching the Big Red take on the Hokies this afternoon so I think somebody needs to make this.

And invite me over to eat it.

Christian, this one's for you. Tell your mom thanks again for introducing us to this.

And I'll gladly take you on again to see who can eat more of this any day :)

Go Huskers!

The Taco Ring

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 envelope taco seasoning (less, if desired)
2 crescent roll cans (8 oz. each)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Taco fixings (optional): lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Brown ground beef or turkey; drain fat. Season with taco seasoning according to envelope directions. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles on a pizza stone or greased cookie sheet with short sides of triangles toward center, overlapping into wreath shape and leaving a round opening in center. On a pizza stone, this could make an inner and outer ring. You may also make two rows on a cookie sheet instead (tips still overlapping). Lightly press short sides of dough to flatten slightly.

Evenly distribute the taco meat along the widest part tips of the dough. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat (cheese may also be served on the side after baking instead). Pull end points of triangles over filling and tuck under dough to form ring(Filling will be somewhat visible).

Bake according to package directions (11-13 minutes). Cut into 16 pieces and serve with taco fixings on the side.

Serves 2-4 people as a meal or more as an appetizer/snack.
