Step 1: Acquire a Barq's rootbeer.
Hooray for today!
Finally... a Barq's...
I've been wanting one for days.
Patience and perseverance pays off again! haha.
Step 2: Experiment with a no-fail, new-to-me recipe.
Tried a different recipe tonight. Mom has made it before, but I never had. Let me be honest... I didn't cook it right. Luckily, though, this is one of those recipes that is difficult to screw up to the point of being inedible.
It's supposed to be a taco ring... at least that's what it's called anyway... Because I didn't use a big enough pan, though, mine was a taco semi-circle. That's more than enough for hubby and I anyway. In fact, it ended up working out better being a semi-circle because I didn't follow the directions. Did you follow that?
Taco Ring [or Semi-Circle]
Brown some turkey meat (or hamburger) and drain.
Add a taco seasoning packet and some water.
Put unrolled croissants in a circle (or semi-circle) with wide ends overlapping on the corners and the points facing out. (This is where I didn't follow directions but understand why I need to next time around.)
Put taco meat around croissant rolls on the wide part and top with cheese.
(the Taco Ring when it comes out of the oven) Definitely looks more yummy when topped with more cheese, lettuce, and salsa! |
Cook in the oven according to the croissant package directions.
Top with your favorite taco extras... more cheese, lettuce, tomatoes (yuck!), salsa, sour cream, etc.
Step 3: Enjoy your meal and Barq's curled up on the couch, watching a favorite or must-see show [like the Bachelor] with your hubby.
Oh, what a night!
