Taco Ring

3/4 lb. ground beef or turkey
2 tbsp. Southwestern seasoning mix (taco seasoning spices)*
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. water
2 pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls
1 md. green bell pepper
1 cup salsa
3 cups shredded lettuce
1 md. tomato
Sour cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. In frying pan, cook and stir beef over med/high heat until meat is no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain. In bowl, combine meat and taco seasoning. Add cheese into meat mixture. Add water and mix well. On a baking stone, or pizza pan, arrange crescent triangles in a circle with bases overlapping in center and point to the outside. There should be a circle of about 5" in diameter in center. Scoop meat mixture evenly onto the widest end of each triangle. Bring outside point of triangles down over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center. (Filling will not be completely covered) Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut off top of pepper and discard membranes and seeds. Fill with salsa. Place pepper in center of ring. Arrange lettuce and tomato around pepper. Garnish with sour cream.

My mother used to make taco rings for my friends and me when I was in high school. They make great munchies for parties or a fun meal for when the kids have a sleepover.
