Easy Crescent Taco Bake *From the kitchen of Jessica*

1 can (8oz) Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup Old El Paso Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
2 tbsp. Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes as desired

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased square pan or 10-inch pie plate; press over bottom and up sides to form crust.  I don't do this in any fancy way, I just press the dough all over the bottom and up the sides.

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat heat for about 10min. Stir in salsa and taco seasoning mix, simmer for 5min. Spoon meat mixture in crust lined pan and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 20-25min or until crust is a deep golden brown. Top with lettuce and tomato. Have sour cream on hand too!

My family loves this dish and I love making it because it's so easy! :)
