Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Taco Crescent Roll Bake
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef, stirring frequently until no pink remains, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then add ½ cup of diced onions and 1 packet of taco seasoning. Cook for an additional 3–5 minutes until the onions soften and the mixture is fragrant.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the first batch of crescent roll dough into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring the seams are pressed together to avoid leaks.
  3. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the prepared crescent dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer. Unroll the second batch of crescent dough and lay it over the filling. Seal the edges tightly.
  4. Place your Taco Crescent Roll Bake in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, let your Taco Crescent Roll Bake sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly. Before serving, top with freshly chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
