Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 lb of ground beef and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Brown the meat until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning along with ½ to ⅔ cup of water and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto your prepared jelly roll pan, pressing the seams together to form one cohesive crust.
  5. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Spread heated refried beans over the baked crust.
  7. Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture over the refried beans, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the seasoned beef layer and return to the oven for an additional 3-6 minutes, or until melted and bubbly.
  9. Let your Taco Pizza cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares.
