TACO RING (FROM PAMPERED CHEF)

Steps:

• Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium heat 7-9 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Stir in taco seasoning mix, cheese and water.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles.
• Arrange triangles in a circle on Classic Round Pizza Stone with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside. (There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in center.) I use my Pampered Chef pizza stone, but any flat round pan should work--perhaps even a pizza sheet, but I'd spray it with Pam before adding the crescent rolls.
• Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered).
• Bake at 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Shred lettuce and chop tomato, onion, olives, and bell pepper (if desired).
• If you want to do something fancy, scoop out a bell pepper and fill with salsa and put into center of ring.
• Add your toppings to top of ring and finish with more shredded cheese and sour cream.
• This is great with a salad.
