School’s Fiestada

My husband asked me to make a fiestada like we used to have at school. I couldn’t for the life of me remember what that even was so I did some googling. BAM! Found it and I remembered. “Remembered” meaning I just remember the taste being like a taco and pizza flavor so I went for it.

School’s Fiestada

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1/3 cup taco seasoning
2 cups marinara
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 roll of crescent dough sheet
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Recipe

On a baking sheet, lay the crescent dough sheet down and cook according to the package instructions. Once it’s done, set it aside.
Adjust the oven to 450 degrees.
In a medium saucepan, brown the ground beef and pour in the taco seasoning. You’ll notice I do not mention to add water. Simply add the taco seasoning and stir until combined into the beef.
In a medium bowl, add the marinara, cumin and salt. Stir until combined.
Grab the crescent roll and cut it in two (not longways, you’ll want it to be two squares).
In a 9×9 casserole dish, set one piece of crescent on the bottom.
Add a couple spoonfuls of marinara and spread it over the top of the crescent.
Add the beef to cover the marinara.
Sprinkle one cup of cheese over the top.
Repeat the layers- crescent, marinara, beef and cheese.
Bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes.
