Why this Recipe Works!
- Uses crescent rolls for a crust – hello? Easy and pure deliciousness with that signature flaky crust!
- It’s cheesy, meaty and amazing!
- It’s quick to make – perfect weeknight meal!
- Tastes like a taco but only better because you’re not assembling all those tacos and the kids can eat it easier!

Ingredients Needed
- Hamburger – We use a 80/20 ground beef, just make sure to drain off the grease after browning.
- Crescent rolls – Grab the store bought kind and make it easy!
- Taco seasoning – Use a packet from the store or make your own.
- Sour cream
- Cheddar Cheese – Grab the block of cheese and great it yourself for the best “meltability”!
- Crushed chips – We prefer Nacho Cheese Doritos, but Fritos or any corn chip would work.
- Optional garnish, sliced green onions
Steps To Prepare
- Prep –
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the pie dish and set aside.
- Brown Hamburger – In a skillet over medium heat brown hamburger and drain off grease. Add taco seasoning, water and simmer until water is gone.
- Assemble Pie – Place the crescent rolls in the pie pan with the narrow tip pointed towards the middle. Flatten to cover the bottom. On top of the crescent rolls add the hamburger mixture. The layer with sour cream, cheese and crushed chips.
- Bake – Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
More Topping Ideas!
Here’s a few more optional ingredients you could toss into this recipe to give it other flavors.
- Add chopped onions to the ground beef when you are browning it.
- Add a layer of refried beans.
- Sprinkle lettuce and tomatoes on the top after it cooks.
Tips for Leftovers!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
To reheat the pie return it to an oven preheat to 350 degrees. Make sure it’s in an oven proof pan. Heat for 20-30 minutes or until it is hot and bubbly! Microwaving the pie will make the crust soggy.

I bought all the ingredients for this to make tonight and I just realized I have NO pie pan 🙁 nothing even close. I have big “deep” frying pans, an oval baking dish and then a small, tin pie pan I saved out a bag of rolls. What can I use, cause I desperately want to make this tonight!! Please help!
Julie Evink says
Maybe like a 8×8 glass dish or something? I’m not sure!
jessica says
Oh yes! I have one of those as well 🙂 I’ll try it! Thanks
Joe and Chrissi says
Very tasty but would suggest to make sure you check to see if the dough is cooked all the way. Ours hasn’t and had to cook for 20 more minutes than the recipe described :/
Julie Evink says
Interesting! I’ve never had this problem! Maybe a different type of pan?
SallyJoJo says
