It has been a while since I have prepared a Mexican dish so I decided to put this Beefy Nacho Crescent Bake Recipe on the menu. It seems like whenever I attempt a recipe that requires me to do some twisting and turning of the dough with my hands it never comes out looking the way it should so I talked my wife into giving me a hand with this one.
This is a very simple recipe and doesn’t require many ingredients. It is also quick to prepare so you can have supper on the table in less than an hour. I prepared the recipe as written but there is room to make some changes-you could spice it up a little more or add some chopped jalapeno peppers.
I prepared the recipe as written and we really enjoyed it. The next time you’re in the mood for Mexican cuisine give this Beefy Nacho Crescent Bake Recipe a try, it’s really good.
