Ingredients 🛒

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
• 1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls or crescent dough sheet
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
• 2 cups Fritos corn chips, divided
• 1 cup shredded lettuce, for topping
• 1 cup sour cream, for serving

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Preheat the Oven 🔥

Preheat your oven according to the temperature listed on the crescent roll package.

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Ground Beef 🍳

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink.

Drain off any excess grease.

3. Season the Meat 🌶️

Add the taco seasoning and prepare it according to the packet directions.

Stir well, let it simmer for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat.

4. Make the Crust 🥐

Unroll the crescent dough and place it into the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Press the seams together gently to create one solid, even crust.

5. Add the Layers 🥣

Spread the refried beans evenly over the crescent dough.

Next, add the seasoned ground beef in an even layer.

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the beef, then add half of the Fritos.

6. Finish the Top 🧀

Top everything with the remaining shredded cheese and the rest of the Fritos for that extra crunchy finish.

7. Bake Until Golden ✨

Bake according to the crescent roll package instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish and Serve 🍽️

Let the pie cool slightly after baking.

Sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the top and serve warm with a generous spoonful of sour cream.
