• 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.

• Bake at 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

TACO RING

Steps:

• 1. On a nonstick round pizza pan, lay the crescent rolls out with the large triangle end on the inside, each side touching, with the pointed end hanging over the edge.
• 2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the taco seasoning until done. Drain.
• 3. Place the cooked, ground beef on the ring of crescent rolls in a circle. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bring the pointed ends of the rolls up and over the ground beef and cheese mixture and tuck the end under the middle.
• 4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
• 5. While the ring bakes, chop the remaining vegetables. When the ring is baked and has slightly cooled (you dont want this cold or scorching hot) place all the veggies in the middle of the ring, slice and serve it with a wedge of lemon or lime and a dollop of sour cream on top with some salsa.

HOMEMADE TACO RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out dinner roll dough into a large circle (about 12-16 inches).
• Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut circle into pizza-like wedges (12-16 wedges).
• On an ungreased cookie sheet or pizza stone, arrange wedges in a sunburst looking ring with the wide ends toward the center of the baking stone & slightly overlapping each other. There will be an opening in the center of the ring with no dough in it. With your hands or a small pastry roller, press the wide ends of dough together & slightly in toward the middle of the ring to create a wide, solid base for the filling.
• Lay a sheet of foil or large tea towel over the dough to let rise while you are making the filling.
• Brown beef in large skillet or dutch oven, breaking into small taco sized pieces. Drain.
• Add taco seasoning & water to meat. Cook & stir til most of the liquid is absorbed & the seasoning has coated the meat. You may add a little extra water if needed, a Tablespoon at a time.
• Add peppers, onions, refried beans & cheese to meat mixture. Stir til combined.
• Spoon hot mixture over the wide ends of the dough, also in a ring pattern. I sometimes have extra filling depending on how many wedges I cut, but I usually just stuff it all in anyway.
• Bring the pointed ends of the wedges up & over the filling & tuck under the wide ends to encase the filling. Continue all the way around the ring. You will have some filling peeking out between wedges. Not only does it look pretty but makes for great cutting & serving lines.
• Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes (We like ours a little doughy, so I use the least amount of time).
• Serve topped with any or all suggested toppings.
• Leftover taco ring can be refrigerated & is just as tasty reheated in the microwave the next day.
