One of my favorite things about cooking is all the exciting things there are out there to try. New ingredients, new cooking techniques, new experiences. It's so fun, but it's also nice to come back to what's familiar and what you know will be delicious.
That's exactly how I felt when I saw this recipe. With it's flaky crescent roll crust, flavorful taco meat, and melty cheese topping, how could you go wrong? I loved it before I even bought the ingredients for it, and my family loved it too. The best part is that it came from my Healthy edition of Taste of Home, so I didn't have to feel as though this comfort dish was going to make me any less comfortable in the waistline!
