Crescent Taco Ring

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Prepare a 15-inch round pizza pan or a large baking sheet (12 x 17) by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the ground beef according to the instructions on the taco seasoning packet. Let cool while preparing the crescent ring.
   
   Place a 5-inch bowl, upside-down, directly into the center of the prepared pan. Unroll both cans of crescent rolls, separating them into triangles (16 total). Arrange the wide ends of the dough triangles in the center, so they overlap slightly to form a perfect circle like a sunburst. The pointed ends should face outward. Press the crescent rolls together to gently smoosh them and create an even base layer.
   
   Spoon the cooled seasoned ground beef onto the overlapping portions of the dough in the center. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the meat.
   
   Take the outer points of each triangle, and fold them over the beef and cheese. Tuck the tips underneath the inside of the circle, so the filling is fully enclosed.
   
   Continue folding each triangle until the ring is complete.
   
   
3. Bake the taco ring for 20 minutes or until golden-brown. Transfer to a serving platter, and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with guacamole and your favorite taco toppings.
