Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground beef
  • 1 package Taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 can Crescent dinner rolls
  • 1 1/2 cup Corn chips; crushed
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese; shredded
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. 2
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. 3
    Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. 4
    While the beef simmers, separate the crescent dough triangles. Press them into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie pan, sealing the seams to form a crust.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle 1 cup of the crushed corn chips evenly over the bottom of the crescent crust.
  6. 6
    Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the corn chip layer.
  7. 7
    Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the beef mixture.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sour cream.
  9. 9
    Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed corn chips.
  10. 10
    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crescent crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. 11
    Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
