Perfect recipe to change up Taco Tuesday, Taco Bake is a great family friendly recipe that is husband and kid approved!
This recipe is by far the most popular post on my other blog Two Maids a Milking. It was originally a post from my sister-in-law so I decided to remake and photograph it for all of you!
Taco Bake
This recipe is perfect because it can be customized based on your families preferences. Ground turkey can be substituted for the ground beef, you can use low fat sour cream and cheese to lighten it up and can decrease the amount of chips for the top or use tortilla chips instead. You can also add salsa or substitute the can of tomatoes for a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel) to kick up the amount of spice and easily add a layer or refried beans or black beans.
How To Make Taco Bake With Crescent Rolls and Doritos
- Cook hamburger in medium skillet over medium heat until cooked through, drain.
- Add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, water, and diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a Glass, greased 9 x 13 inch pan press out crescent rolls and flatten to form a crust.
- Layer hamburger mixture, sour cream and then cheese.
- Crush Doritos and put them on top.
- Bake at 350 for 30 min.
- Garnish and serve warm.
Tips For Making Doritos Taco Bake
I recommend making Taco Bake in a Glass Baking Dish
it seems to help the crescent rolls cook more evenly.
Some people have had luck baking the crescent rolls for a couple minutes before adding the other ingredients.
Another reader tip is to wait until the last 10 minutes of baking to add the Doritos.
No matter how you make this it is sure to be a crowd favorite!

Hi, this looks delish! what are crescent rolls?
Hi there,
Crescent rolls, are a pre-made store bought dough that you make a roll into the shape of a crescent. For this recipe you use it like a crust and don’t actually make it into a roll.
How fun! This is awesome for football season!
looks yummy!! thank you for sharing your recipe 🙂
What is the carbs and sugars on this recipe?
It will depend on the specific brand/ingredients you use so I would recommend figuring it yourself based on your preferences. I am not an expert in that area so I would hate to try and not be correct. I would assume their are resources online that would figure this based on your ingredients but I don’t know of any of the top of my head.
Can this be done in a metal 9×13 pan? That’s all I have?!
yes, but I would cook the crust a little before you put the toppings on otherwise it might get soggy.
Has anyone made this to freeze?
If I add salsa do I still use tomatoe sauce and tomatoes?
I would still add the tomato sauce.
This was SO easy and delicious. I used about 24 ounces of tomato puree instead of the sauce & diced tomatoes. Next time I’m going to make it even easier by using flour tortillas instead of the crescent rolls.
What a great idea Lisa. Won’t have to worry about them getting soggy lol
Great Idea! I’m gonna try it tomorrow night on my hubby and kids. We definitely get into a rut of the same foods each week, and this is a nice change on something the teenagers make constantly. Even if it is just a texture change, it’s still a step in the right direction! since we already do the crescent roll sloppy joes, this will be just a tad different!
Would you put sauce under the tortillas, like in an enchilada lasagna?
This looks like a dinner my whole family would love.
Great dish for a family dinner!!
The kiddos will love this!
I’ll bet the Doritos make it irresistible!
This would be such a fun bake for a tailgate party!
My family would love it if I served this to them! YUM!
Mmm I bet everyone at your table was happy with this
This would be perfect for game day!
Made it tonight and pan was gone in thirty minutes and we want more. WOW, great recipe, what I did do different was no tomatoes, and I cooked the crossents for at least 10 miutes before adding topping. It came out wonderful I used 6 chesses,& light sour cream
SO glad you guys liked it!
Just wondering has anyone tried putting a layer of refried beans down then the meat mixture and ext.
I was wondering how that would turn out.
Made this recipe tonight and is was a hit!
i put a layer of refried beans (old El Paso refried bean cooked with shredded cheese 1/ 4 cup–and added 3 til ortega taco sauce. ahead on stove til creamy.. that was spread on top of dough, then the taco meat, then the sauce and tomatoes and little more ortega taco sauce, then the cheese and doritos…and it was very very good black olives sliced optional order cheese
About how long to prep. and about how many does it serve.
About 15 mins to prep and serves 5-6 as a meal. Enjoy!
Pretty good I used a can of mild rotel tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes it was a hit everyone loved it will definitely make again
This is AWESOME been making it since maids a milking days 😁 don’t seem to be able to find now but I found you
