Quick n easy and very tasty. I used a canned corn, black bean, southwestern style mix and garnished with diced avocado and a dollop of sour cream . Yummy!

My husband loved this. He ate almost 3/4 of it. I did add chopped onion to the meat as some reviews suggested. I also used two whole cups of cheese, along with a layer of medium salsa below the crescents. Will make again.

I live alone and am always looking for easy recipes that do not have too many leftovers. This recipe was not very good at all. Too much bread, Crescent rolls are difficult to cut up on your plate. I gave the remainder to the dogs.

Quick and easy. I substituted the hamburger with ground turkey and topped with salsa. I think next time I would add onions to the meat mixture while bringing it to a boil and mix in some salsa before baking.Will definitely make this again.

This was easy and quite good. Leftover were already called for by hubby to take to work tomorrow. I added salsa, taco sauce and sour cream on the table to dress it up with. Will make it again!
