Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pound of ground beef and one 13.8-ounce can of Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Crust are the ingredients needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-package taco seasoning mix-two cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional: Butter for brushing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Brown the ground beef in a pan that has been well-seasoned over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Stir in the taco seasoning and simmer for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld after draining the excess fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Stretch out the Pillsbury Pizza Dough into a big rectangle on a clean surface. Cut the dough into uniform rectangles, keeping in mind the quilting bees of yesteryear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Top each square with a liberal amount of shredded cheese, setting aside a pinch to serve as a reminder that moderation is key to maintaining a balanced serving. Spread some of the spiced meat over the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. After you\u2019ve filled each square with that delicious filling, gather the dough into a nice little stick by folding it over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Spread out the sticks on the baking sheet you just made, giving them room to rock as summer evenings go. Finish them up with a little butter and a sprinkle of salt if you so want. Adding more cheese is another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. After 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, the dough should develop a lovely golden-brown color, like autumn wheat fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. After the sticks have rested for a while, they may be garnished with chopped fresh cilantro for an extra taste and color boost, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips and Variations \u2013 A vegetarian version that is just as filling as the original would be by swapping out the ground beef with a combination of black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A For a twist on cheese, try using a sharp cheddar or smoke-kissed gouda; both may give the meal a new dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A Mini taco sticks may be made by slicing the dough into smaller triangles, making them perfect for children or others with lesser appetites. It is a delightful, manageable snack that is bite-sized. \u2014 Lastly, feel free to include a story from your own family into this dish. The art of cooking is, after all, a lasting heritage that we pass on to our loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
