Arkansas Wedding Advice from a Real Newlywed: Sharing Recipes

Today’s post seemed like a good time to share some recipes. I chose a recent favorite from Pampered Chef called a Taco Ring, and Frazier and I have made it several times. It tastes amazing, but the best part is that it’s SUPER easy and quick!  

Here’s all the ingredients you will need:

  • 3/4 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1 can of pinto beans
  • 1 (8 ounce) can of corn
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 3 cups lettuce, shredded
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped (optional)

And here’s the recipe for the delicious taco ring:

  1. Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium heat 7-9 minutes or until beef is no longer pink; drain.
  2. Turn heat down to low and…
  3. …stir in taco seasoning mix, cheese and water.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  5. Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles.
  6. Arrange triangles in a circle on cookie sheet or pizza stone with wide ends overlapping in center and points toward outside. (There should be a 5 inch diameter opening in center.)  You might want to spray some Pam on the sheet as well.
  7. Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered).
  8. Bake at 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Shred lettuce and chop tomato, bell pepper, onion, and bell pepper (if desired).
  10. Drain corn and pinto beans from the cans.
  11. Add the toppings to the center of the ring and finish with more shredded cheese and sour cream if you want…
  12. …and enjoy!
