Taco Ring
This meat-filled pastry ring has been a classic Pampered Chef recipe for many years!
Ingredients
- 1½ lb (700 g) lean (90%) ground beef
- 1 pkg (1–1.25 oz/30–35 g) taco seasoning mix
- 1¾ cups (7 oz/200 g) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tbsp (45 mL) water
- 2 pkg (8 oz /250 g each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- Optional toppings: salsa, shredded lettuce, chopped onion and tomato, sliced olives, and sour cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the ground beef in a 10" (24-cm) Skillet over medium heat for 10–12 minutes or until it’s no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles, then drain. Transfer the beef to a Classic Batter Bowl. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, and water.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on a Large Round Stone with the wide ends of the triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside. There should be a 5" (13-cm)-diameter opening in the center of the stone. The narrow triangle points of dough will extend off the edge of the baking stone.
Using a Large Scoop, scoop the filling evenly over the dough in a continuous circle. Bring the points of triangles up over the filling and tuck them under the dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.) Brush the top with the egg white. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until it is golden brown. Serve with toppings.

Rated 5 out of 5 starsSo when I made this for my first demo I decided to add the seasoning I received in my starter kit. Three tbs of the Three Onion Taste Buds, and the 2 tbs of Southwest Seasoning instead of taco seasoning. Apparently this is a standard from folks childhood and a go to for parties and it was really yummy!

Oldie but Goodie Taco Ring
Rated 5 out of 5 starsI'm an old time Pampered Chef cook. I made the famous taco ring for years. Then moved on to other appetizers. I decide to go back to my tried and true Taco Ring made with crescent rolls. Alittle hard to find online but I found it and feel perfectly confident making and serving this famous family choice of appetizer. Thank you so much.

Delicously easy
Rated 5 out of 5 starsThis is one of my favorite recipes that I've been making for years. You can use ground hamburger, turkey or chicken to change it up. Super easy and so delicious!
Great recipe!
Rated 5 out of 5 starsMy family loves this and will request it if I don't make it enough! Last night I made it into a log to serve as finger food at my holiday party..... HUGE hit! I add an onion & a stalk of celery chopped fine with the Food Chopper and 2-3 cloves of pressed garlic while browning the beef. After draining I add a can of black or pinto beans(rinsed & drained. Awesome results!
