Ingredients: 

1 8-ounce can of refrigerated crescent rolls

1 pound lean ground beef

1 1-ounce package of taco seasoning

1 cup salsa

1 8-ounce carton sour cream

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

¾ 9.25-ounce bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef and drain off the fat. Stir in the pack of taco seasoning and salsa. Then, simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Press crescent rolls on the bottom of a pie pan lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Trim off any excess (bunched up) crescent roll dough that piles in the middle to prevent uncooked dough.

4. Top crescent roll base with meat mixture. Spread sour cream over the top of the meat. Top with your cheese.

5. Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Take out, top with Doritos, and place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
