Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350F. Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring often and crumbling into pieces. Drain the fat from the seasoned ground beef, stir in taco seasoning and salsa. Once combined, remove from heat and set aside.
2
Grease a 9-inch round casserole dish or 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Carefully pull apart the crescent rolls and arrange in the prepared casserole dish. Use your hands to gently press the dough together and form a pie crust. Start by spreading the refried beans on top.
3
Top with the seasoned meat. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked. If the top starts to get too dark, cover the baking dish with foil.
4
Once cooked, remove from oven, and let cool slightly. Top with your favorite taco toppings and divide into 6 equal portions.
5
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven set to 350F for 20 minutes, or until heated through. To freeze, place in a freezer safe dish or airtight container, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown the Beef Properly 🍖Break ground beef into small pieces and cook until deeply browned before adding seasoning—this creates fond on the pan for richer flavor and prevents a soggy crust from excess moisture.
- Press Crescent Rolls Strategically 📐Instead of separating the crescent roll perforations, press them together into a solid sheet with your fingers—this creates a sturdy, unified crust that won't separate or tear when filled.
- Layer Strategically for Texture 🔄Spread refried beans directly on the crescent dough first, then add seasoned beef on top—this prevents the crust from absorbing excess moisture while keeping the beans warm and creamy.
- Drain Salsa Before Adding 🫙Place salsa in a fine-mesh strainer for 5 minutes to remove excess liquid, preventing a waterlogged bake and maintaining the integrity of your crescent roll base.
- Check Internal Temp and Crust Color 🌡️Tent with foil if crescent rolls brown too quickly before the filling reaches 165°F internally, ensuring both golden crust and properly heated ingredients.
