This taco ring is simple to make, yummy to eat and pleasing to the eyes. It is great to take to pot luck dinners or to prepare for family after a long day at work and school. The recipe comes from Pampered Chef and you do NOT have to have all of their kitchen gadgets to create this. If you have them, it definitely makes it easier, but the tools are not requirements. Wash your hands and let's get in the kitchen!!

You will need:

• 1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained



• 1 package taco seasoning mix



• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese



• 2 Tbsp. water



• 2 packages refrigerated crescent roll dough



• 1 medium green or red pepper



• 1/2 head of lettuce, shredded



• 1 medium tomato, cubed



• 1 small onion, chopped



• sliced black olives



• 1 cup of salsa



• sour cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine meat, seasoning, 1/2 of cheese, and water in a Classic Batter Bowl.

Arrange crescent triangles on a Large Round Baking Stone. The bases will overlap and points to the outside (it should look like a sunburst).

Scoop the meat mixture over the crescent rolls using the Large Scoop. Fold the triangle over filling and tuck under the base at the center. Filling will not be completely covered.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut the top of the green or red pepper off using V-Shaped Cutter and take out the seeds.


Place the pepper in the center of the ring and fill with salsa. Slice the lettuce with your Ultimate Slice & Grate and mound the lettuce, onion, and tomato, black olives, and remaining cheese around the pepper. Garnish with sour cream using Easy Accent Decorator.
