Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup water
• 2 packages crescent roll dough
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can refried beans
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup sliced black olives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the ground beef, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press one package into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust.

Step 5

Spread the refried beans evenly over the crescent roll base.

Step 6

Layer the cooked, seasoned ground beef on top of the refried beans.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 8

Drizzle salsa evenly across the cheese layer.

Step 9

Carefully unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and place it on top to form the top crust. Pinch the edges together to seal.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Spread sour cream evenly over the top crust.

Step 13

Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, remaining shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced black olives.

Step 14

Cut into squares and serve warm.
