Simple baked sticks filled with seasoned ground beef, cheese, and wrapped in crescent roll dough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled taco meat mixture over the cheese on each triangle.
  8. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end, towards the point. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
