Equipment
- 1 Propane Oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded and divided
- 2 tbsp water
- 2-4 tbsp taco season
- 1/ lb. ground beef
- 2 tubes crescent rolls 8 oz each
- 1/2 medium head of iceberg lettuce shredded

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey cheese, water & taco seasoning. Crumble beef over mixture & mix well. Shape into 16 balls.
- Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the meatballs on paper towels.
- Reduce heat to 375 degrees F. Arrange crescent rolls on a greased 15 inch pizza pan, forming a ring with pointed ends facing the outer edge of the pan & wide ends overlapping.
- Place a meatball on each roll; fold over the meatball and tuck under the wide end of roll (meatball will be visible). Repeat. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
- Transfer the ring to a serving platter. Fill the center of the ring with lettuce, tomato, green onions, peppers, remaining cheese, and sour cream, salsa, and guacamole if desired.
