Taco Biscuit

Meet Taco Biscuit.  My nephew created the name for this dish (original recipe found here) because he thought the meat filling looked like taco filling, and he thought the crescent rolls tasted like a biscuit.  I was just happy there wasn't too much negotiating for him to eat his portion.  He ate the whole thing.  After he told me he didn't think he'd like it because he'd never had it before.

It's really simple and you could add veggies, or change up the sauce or meat that you choose to use.  You could use reduced fat crescent rolls (or you can just tell your husband you used reduced fat crescent rolls.)  Here we go:

Taco Biscuit

1 lb hamburger
1 c. pasta sauce (we are a Newman's Own family, and our default sauce is Sockarooni)
1 tube of 8 count crescent rolls
1/2 cup shredded cheese (give or take)

Brown up your hamburger; add the pasta sauce.  Preheat your oven to 375 and lay out your crescent rolls.  I put 7 around the pie plate, tiny tips out, and use one to cover the middle hole it creates on the bottom of the plate.  I press it all together on the bottom to make a crust.  Sprinkle half the cheese on the bottom, then pour in the meat.  Fold the tiny tips over the meat and sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake 15-20 minutes.  Devour.

Enjoy (kids and adults alike!)
