Homemade Cheesy Taco Sticks
These Cheesy Taco Sticks are exactly what happens when you crave the bold flavors of a taco but want the comforting, pull-apart satisfaction of a warm breadstick.
Servings 8 sticks
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning 1 oz
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust or classic dough 13.8 oz
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salsa and sour cream for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain the grease.
- Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Unroll the dough on a flat surface and cut into 8 equal rectangles.
- Place a layer of cheese down the center of each rectangle, followed by a spoonful of the beef mixture.
- Fold the long edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the seam firmly to seal. Pinch the ends shut and tuck them under.
- Place the sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk together the melted butter, garlic salt, and parsley. Brush the mixture over the top of each stick.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
