A friend shared the recipe with me, and I've prepared it monthly ever since. The crust is made from refrigerated crescent roll dough. While the ground beef is browning, I simply press the dough into a baking dish. Guests always comment on the tasty crust as well as the zesty filling and crunchy topping. —Patricia Eckard, Singers Glen, Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 2 cups crushed corn chips, divided
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Cubed avocado, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce and cilantro

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll crescent dough into a rectangle; press onto bottom and 1 in. up sides of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Seal seams and perforations. Sprinkle with 1 cup chips; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Spoon over chips. Top with sour cream, cheese and remaining chips.
  3. Bake, uncovered, until crust is lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Garnish with optional toppings, if desired.
