So Easy the Kids Can Do It!

This is such an easy weeknight meal and the kids will love it. In fact, it is so easy and delicious that my kids can make it by themselves now, with very little supervision. And they love to do this too. I got kind of tired of the "Taco Ring" because we had it so often. It is Spencer and Whitt's favorite and they have been making it on Wednesday nights when I'm gone for Bible Study.

Taco Ring
1 pound ground meat
1 pkg taco seasoning
2 pkgs crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
lettuce
tomato
Ranch dressing
Sour cream
Salsa

Brown the ground meat, drain and then season with Taco Seasoning. On a pizza pan or pizza baking stone, lay the crescent rolls in a circle alternating directions, they will overlap some. Press them out a little with a rolling pin to make them a little flatter. Mix the grated cheddar cheese in with the meat. Then spoon this meat and cheese mixture in the middle of the crescent rolls in the fattest part of the roll, to make a ring. Fold the thin ends back over the top of the meat and cheese mixture.

Place in the oven and bake according to the crescent roll directions. Watch the top of the "ring" so it doesn't burn. While this is baking shred lettuce and slice some tomatoes. Once the taco ring is done, remove from oven and put the shredded lettuce and tomato salad in the middle. Serve with sour cream, Ranch dressing and salsa for garnish. If you have more than 4 hungry family members, you may want to make two taco rings!
