Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Cheesy Taco Sticks:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined.
4. Mix in Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and mixed.
5. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Separate the dough into triangles.
6. Fill the Dough: Place a spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle. If using, add diced bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
7. Roll Up: Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the point, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent filling from leaking out.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled taco sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
