Cheesy Taco Crescent Rolls

Hi Tasty Gang, Shannah here! As a mommy of 3, I’m always looking to create dishes that are easy to prep and that my entire family will enjoy. My babies also enjoy helping out in the kitchen, so meals with easy prep allow them to join in on the fun!

One of our favorite dishes to make as a family is my Cheesy Taco Crescent Roll recipe. As much as I love to make tacos, my daughter and youngest son don’t have the best time with the tortilla situation. Crescent rolls allow less of a messy situation (thank goodness!). Once I’ve cooked the meat, I separate everything into small bowls and let the kids make their own rolls. It’s a fun way for us to spend time together after a busy day at work and school.

If you have leftover taco meat from Taco Tuesday, this is the perfect dinner recipe to make the next evening. It’s always a bonus when you can turn one meal prep into two meals! I hope your family enjoys just as much as mine!
