This is about a 30 minute meal and I LOVE fast! AYE, AYE, AYE!
I’m always making casserole type dishes because I have a family of 5 to feed, a ranch to run, and 4 blogs to manage. Meals like this make it a breeze.
The first ingredient you’ll notice is the crescent rolls. I also used these in my Cream Cheese Danish (coming soon) and have found many more uses for them!! I did have to make some substitutions in the recipe because I only had a certain kind of the ingredient called for. The recipe calls for Taco seasoning but I only had chili seasoning which seemed to be just fine. It also calls for Mexican Velveeta but I only had regular. Never-the-less, it was GOOD, FAST, and EASY!
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 pounds ground beef, browned
- 1 (10-ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, OR 1 (16-ounce) jar of hot sauce
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 2 (8-count) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (8-ounce) box Mexican Velveeta, sliced
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400′.
Combine browned ground beef with Ro-Tel tomatoes, taco seasoning, and cheese; just kind of make sure the cheese is somewhat melted and set aside.
For your crust, simply press 1 can of crescent rolls into bottom of a lightly greased 9×13 pan.
Layer beef mixture on top of crust and place other can of crescent rolls on top.
Bake 15-20 minutes.
Feeds 8; serve with sour cream, salad, rice and beans for a true Mexican meal!

OMG that sounds delicious – thanks for sharing! My husband and I are pretty much novice at cooking – our homemade menu is pretty short – this will be a great addition – thanks for sharing!
Always good to have some good, quick casseroles in the repertoire! I make something similar, but usually use just 1 lb of ground meat (turkey, chicken or beef, depending on what’s in the freezer) and then stir in two cans of drained and rinsed beans (kidney, pinto, whatever!) A simple substitution to stretch the meat
Oh, and I think you a 16 oz jar of *SALSA* in place of the rotel (although I suppose hot sauce could be one way to spice up your marriage
This sounds so good. I just posted my fast recipe!
Yeah, I bet hot sauce would be a great substitute!
I’ll have to try this. It sounds like something even I could do! And we always love Mexican food around here. Thanks! -Julia
