The whole family loved this casserole. I made as written and added nothing else. LOVED the crescent roll bottom!! My DH brought the leftovers to work and called to tell me that the bottom did not get soggy overnight and his helper gave it 5 stars!! made for Spring PAC,2011.

Easy and fun to make. I added chopped onions and garlic to the beef mixture to add more flavor. Garnished with usual taco toppings, it was pretty good, but the center of my crust was a little soggy and my Dorito topping burned at some places. Next time, I'd bake at 375 (like the crescent package suggests) and not add the crushed Dorito topping until the last 10 minutes of baking. Thanx for a cute recipe!

This was delicious. It was so quick and easy to put together. This is definetly a keeper!! I love the use of the crescent rolls instead of using tortillas like most mexican casseroles. Thanks so much for sharing.
