Prep Time 12 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
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.
