Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef and onions until browned; drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and diced tomatoes, cooking for 2–3 minutes.
- Unroll half of the crescent dough and press into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Notes
- Use pre-cooked or leftover taco meat for faster assembly.

- Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavour.
- Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven for best texture; microwaving may soften the crust.
