Ingredients

• 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 2 roma tomatoes, diced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup guacamole (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, pinching the seams together to create a smooth crust. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden, then remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir well to coat and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread the refried beans evenly over the pre-baked crescent roll crust.

Step 6

Layer the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef over the refried beans.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the ground beef layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and black olives.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve warm with sour cream and guacamole on the side if desired.
